Jaxon Smith-Njigba was Offensive Player of the Year.
But the NFL initially gave the Seahawks wide receiver an award that called him the "Oefensive Player of the Year." Smith-Njigba said Tuesday that the league fixed the typo on a new award they shipped him.
“We checked it," Smith-Njigba said, via video from the team. "Everybody cleared it. I had the whole team read it, make sure it was right, and it's good, solid.”
What can't be fixed is Druski mispronouncing Smith-Njigba's name at NFL Honors.
Smith-Njigba initially called the typo and mispronouncing his name "disrespectful," but said Tuesday he is no longer bothered.
"The Super Bowl, it's a lot, a lot of things are thrown at you, and I tried my best to stay focused . . . on the game, but now I have no [negative] feelings, ways towards the NFL, Roger [Goodell] or Druski," Smith-Njigba said. "So, I'll just take my trophy and accolades and all that stuff and chill at home."
