Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been named the NFL Offensive Player of the Year for the 2025 season, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The announcement recognizes Smith-Njigba as the league's most outstanding offensive performer following a historically productive sophomore campaign.

Smith-Njigba finished the 2025 regular season with 1,793 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns on 119 receptions, according to verified league data. His yardage total and reception count paced the league, as he served as the primary engine for a Seattle Seahawks offense that remained a postseason contender throughout the year. His performance down the stretch solidified his standing among a crowded field of offensive finalists.

By winning the award, Smith-Njigba becomes just the second player in Seahawks franchise history to be named NFL Offensive Player of the Year. He joins former running back Shaun Alexander, who previously won the honor in 2005. The official trophy presentation is expected to take place during the NFL Honors ceremony, where the final voting tallies from the 50-member media panel will be released to the public.
