Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba says the NFL sends him a replacement Offensive Player of the Year trophy after an engraving error. Smith-Njigba posted a video showing the trophy’s inscription appears to name him incorrectly, labeling him “Defensive Player of Theyear” rather than “Offensive Player of the Year.” In the video, he reacts to the mistake, saying it feels “disrespectful.” Multiple outlets report that the NFL has apologized for the error and is arranging a new, correctly engraved version of the trophy. The original trophy was presented in connection with the league’s Offensive Player of the Year recognition, but the misspelling and wrong category on the engraving drew attention quickly once Smith-Njigba shared the image and comments online. The replacement is intended to correct the text and prevent any further confusion about the award he received.
