Smith-Njigba, a first-time All-Pro, was one of just three players to earn unanimous All-Pro honors alongside Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua and Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett.
JSN is also favored to win the NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award, whose winner will be revealed at the NFL Honors on Feb. 5, after catching 119 passes and scoring 10 touchdowns this season. His efforts helped lead the Seattle Seahawks to the No. 1 seed in the NFC, earning the team a bye in this weekend’s first round of the NFL playoffs.
Fellow former Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave earned second-team All-Pro honors for the first time in his career. Olave caught 100 passes for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns this season, ranking in the top 10 in all three categories. The performance marked a spectacular resurgence for Olave after he suffered multiple concussions in 2024 that made him contemplate retirement.
Former Ohio State defensive lineman Cameron Heyward earned an All-Pro honor for the sixth time in his illustrious career as he was named a second-team All-Pro interior defensive lineman. The 36-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle continued to defy Father Time in 2025 on his way to recording 78 tackles with nine tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, six pass breakups and a forced fumble. Pro Football Focus graded Heyward as the best interior defensive lineman (90.4) in the entire NFL during the regular season, in which he played the most snaps of any NFL interior defensive lineman (822).
