Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s Brother Calls Out NFL’s Treatment of Seahawks WR
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba's brother took to social media to point out an egregious error made by the NFL.
On Monday evening, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba took to social media to point out an egregious error made by the NFL . The league sent JSN a trophy to recognize his Offensive Player of the Year season. But, the side of the award was etched with this incorrect inscription: “2025 DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR.
” “It’s getting disrespectful at this point,” Smith-Njigba wrote on Instagram. “Just keep the award at this point. Leave it in the history books tho,” he added in a follow-up post.
Smith-Njibga’s older brother , Canaan, went on social media to point out a list of disrespectful behavior directed toward the Seahawks WR. “The NFL quickly collected a fine for the dunk celebration, then used those same images for promotion,” Canaan wrote on X. “The Offensive Player of the Year was turned into a comedy segment with Druski, minimizing an award earned through elite performance and hard work.
” “NFL Honors never acknowledged the poor representation of one of the league’s top individual awards,” the professional baseball player continued. “The ‘prestigious’ ceremony didn’t even air the pre-recorded acceptance speech. After months to prepare and ship the award, the only offensive player selected received a Defensive Player of the Year trophy.
