It appears the NFL missed the part where Seattle Seahawks WIDE RECEIVER Jaxon Smith-Njigba plays on offense.
Smith-Njigba had a phenomenal third season in the NFL, so it's hard to miss that fact. Smith-Njigba tallied a league-high 1,793 receiving yards and scored 10 touchdowns en route to securing the Offensive Player of the Year award.
He has since been rewarded with a monster contract extension worth $168.6 million over four years.
Despite all of that, the NFL found a way to mess up his Offensive Player of the Year trophy.
JSN posted to social media to show that his trophy actually says "Defensive Player of the Year."
"It's getting disrespectful at this point," JSN said in the caption of his post.
This is INSANE: #Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba just received his Offensive Player of the Year trophy, but there’s one GIANT problem: the plaque actually says “Defensive Player of the Year.” 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
JSN’s response: “It’s getting disrespectful at this point.”
How that award gets out without someone noticing such a huge mistake is beyond my comprehension.
You'd think a billion-dollar league like the NFL wouldn't make that kind of blunder with one of its best offensive players, but here we are.
A former first-round pick in 2023, Smith-Njigba has gotten better each year in the league and is now considered one of the best in the business at his position.
And he's still only 24 years old, so he figures to have plenty more big years ahead of him.
Coming off a Super Bowl victory, the Seahawks are poised to have another big year in 2026, as their roster remains one of the very best in the NFL — and Smith-Njigba plays a huge role in that.
