Druski Is Getting Blasted For Dropping Racial Slur While Deliberately Butchering Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s Name At NFL Honors [VIDEO]
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Druski lost most people with his purposeful blunder at the NFL Honors ceremony on Thursday night.
The comedian and influencer had the honor of presenting Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba with the Offensive Player of the Year Award. However, he decided to make a mockery out of the whole thing by mispronouncing the wideout’s last name.
Standing next to NFL Hall of Famer Barry Sanders, a laughing Druski pointed out that Njigba decided not to show up.
He then went to name the recipient, butchering his name with a racial slur, though he gets a pass because he’s Black.
Even so, the bit was in poor taste. As you can see in the video below, it took Sanders by surprise.

Seattle Seahawks Clap Back At Druski
The Seahawks didn’t find Druski’s antics funny either.
“Hall of Famer Barry Sanders drew the short straw getting stuck with @druski’s big whiff tonight. Put some respect on @Seahawks WR @jaxon_smith1’s name,” the team posted to X.
JSN had a remarkable season with Seattle, his exploits taking them all the way to the Super Bowl. He has a date with destiny this Sunday, with the New England Patriots now the only ones standing in his way of a Lombardi.
Smith-Njigba registered 119 catches for 1,793 yards receiving with 10 touchdowns for Seattle this season.
The award is, of course, well deserved.
