Comedian Druski co-presented the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year award with Barry Sanders at the 15th Annual NFL Honors in San Francisco, where Jaxon Smith-Njigba of the Seattle Seahawks won. Druski intentionally mispronounced Smith-Njigba’s name for comedic effect, prompting criticism from the Seahawks’ PR team and players, including Uchenna Nwosu. Smith-Njigba did not attend the ceremony, delivering his acceptance speech via video, as he prepares for the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots.
