"Offensive Player of the Year Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued the dynamic start to his career by joining running back Shaun Alexander as the only Seahawks player to win the award. In his third season, Smith-Njigba led the NFL with a career-high 1,793 receiving yards; that is the eighth-most in any season in NFL history. Smith-Njigba set Seahawks records this season in both receiving yards and receptions (119)."
