But Thursday night, we\u2019ve got the NFL Honors. As Seattle Seahawks fans, we had a a bit of juice invested, whether you knew so or not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Our squad started the evening with five nominations, including Mike Macdonald for Coach of the Year, Klint Kubiak for Assistant Coach of the Year, Jaxon Smith-Njigba for Offensive Player of the Year, Nick Emmanwori for Defensive Rookie of the Year, and Mr. Smith-Njigba again for FedEx Ground Player of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">To the surprise of the haters, and no one else, Rockwall\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fieldgulls.com\/seattle-seahawks-news\/162101\/nfl-honors-2026-results-seahawks-jaxon-smith-njigba-wins-offensive-player-of-the-year\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jaxon Smith-Njigba took home the Offensive Player of the Year;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Jaxon Smith-Njigba took home the Offensive Player of the Year<\/a>, most deservedly. With almost 1800 yards receiving on the 2025 season, and a punctuated, nearly perfect performance against the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship game, Jaxon Smith-Njigba left literally no doubt of his unique capabilities. He played so well this season that memories of DK Metcalf seem hazy now, lost in a sea of proclamations and potential. Smith-Njigba answered all the critics and skepticism with a season so dreamy, it\u2019s now become the norm. Surprisingly, Christian McCaffrey finished second over Puka Nacua.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">He\u2019s the man. And I think I speak for every \u2018Hawks fan everywhere when I say that we can\u2019t wait to see what he accomplishes next season. Plus, his slam dunk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fieldgulls.com\/seattle-seahawks-news\/153441\/nfl-no-fun-league-levies-fine-goalpost-dunk-jsn-stingley-seahawks-texans\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:goal post celebration was tough as hell;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">goal post celebration was tough as hell<\/a>. Period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">On a secondary, and no less important note, newly enrolled X-Men member Nick Emmanwori went second in voting for Defensive Rookie of the Year (which makes me defensive, although Carson Schwesinger had a pretty good season). Nick\u2019s future seems bright and we\u2019ve got to wear shades like Cyclops. Minus the Cyclops whiny attitude, tho.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Coach Mac went third in voting for Coach of the Year behind Liam Coen and winner Mike Vrabel. But you know, like a teenage goth in a phase, Mike does not care. He\u2019s Number One in our hearts, through and through. Absolutely. We are very lucky to have him.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Finally, Klint Kubiak, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fieldgulls.com\/seattle-seahawks-news\/161885\/john-schneider-confirms-klint-kubiak-is-leaving-for-las-vegas\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:soon-to-be new HC;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">soon-to-be new HC<\/a> (soon to be Ex-Head Coach) of the Las Vegas Raiders went fourth in Assistant Coach of the Year voting. He probably deserved a better showing. But, none the less, so long, Mr. Kubiak. And thanks for all the fish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You\u2019ve got the Grammys, you\u2019ve got the Golden Globes, you\u2019ve got the Razzies.
