Well this was overdue, but T.J. Watt has been named Defensive Player of the Year. I thought he should have received the honor last year over Aaron Donald to be honest. Not just out of Steeler fan bias, but Watt had the better year statistically. Finally getting honored this year takes some of the sting out of that snub.
