The 2025 NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award race is pretty much down to Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and Seattle Seahawks wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Both are on pace for career marks statistically and are the lifeblood of their offenses.
While Taylor has some convincing arguments to hold the lead at this stage of the season, Smith-Njigba is building a case of his own in the long run. Anything can happen in the final seven games of the regular season, so doing unprecedented things could be the deciding factor in the end.
After Smith-Njigba’s latest leading effort, he added an unprecedented feat to his OPOY resume, becoming the first player in league history to total 75 receiving yards in each of the first 10 games in the season.
