At the NFL Honors ceremony, Druski was on stage alongside Hall of Famer Barry Sanders to present the Offensive Player of the Year award. Jaxon Smith-Njigba won it. However, what followed the announcement overshadowed everything.
Druski mispronounced Smith-Njigba’s name multiple times, including once with a racial slur. Smith-Njigba wasn’t even at the ceremony that night.
