Jaxon Smith-Njigba reveals ‘disrespectful’ error on his NFL Offensive Player of the Year award

Jaxon Smith-Njigba will look to clear a high bar as an encore to his 2025 season.

The Seattle Seahawks star had one of the greatest individual seasons by a wide receiver in NFL history, totaling 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns in the regular season before helping guide his team to the Lombardi Trophy.

For his regular season dominance, Smith-Njigba won the 2025 Offensive Player of the Year, an honor he officially appeared to receive on Monday. But the wide receiver took to social media to reveal that the NFL made a glaring mistake on the hardware itself.

Here's a look at the "disrespectful" error Smith-Njigba shared on the NFL's behalf on Monday.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba reveals error on his Offensive Player of the Year award

Smith-Njigba officially won the OPOY award at the NFL Honors show in February, but he appeared to have just recently received the trophy.

On Monday night, he shared a clip to Instagram that showed the trophy he received from the league — except there were two mistakes on the printing.

For one, it listed Smith-Njigba as the "Defensive" Player of the Year, instead of the "Offensive." Of course, in reality, the DPOY went to Myles Garrett in 2025. Additionally, the words "The" and "Year" were mashed together on the award.

"Nah, I really want to expose them, though," Smith-Njigba said. "It's getting disrespectful, guys. ... Come on, bro."
