The third-year receiver helped lead Seattle to Super Bowl LX, where they\u2019ll face the New England Patriots on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL Honors ceremony was meant to celebrate the season\u2019s best performers. But Druski\u2019s moment overshadowed many of the night\u2019s achievements.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t Druski\u2019s first controversial moment. Five months ago, he faced criticism for appearing in whiteface during a NASCAR event skit. He walked around the Southern 500 race in South Carolina, wearing a fake sunburn, a mullet, and overalls, while putting on a Southern accent.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL Honors ceremony will air again before Sunday\u2019s Super Bowl.
