Jaxon Smith-Njigba Shares Photo of Typo on NFL OPOY Award, Jokes It's 'Getting Disrespectful'

Perhaps because the Seattle Seahawks were largely defined by their defensive dominance during the 2025 season, the NFL got confused about which award Jaxon Smith-Njigba should have received for his performance.

Smith-Njigba shared a photo of his "NFL Defensive Player of the Year" trophy after he was named the league's 2025 Offensive Player of the Year in February.

Smith-Njigba was honored as Offensive Player of the Year after leading the league with 1,793 receiving yards on 119 receptions.

Despite the mix up, Smith-Njigba did add a lot of hardware to his trophy case that it can be hard to keep track of it all. The biggest prize was the Lombardi Trophy after the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60.
