Nik Bonitto is making a strong case to the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year.

One of the bigger developments for the Denver Broncos this season has been the emergence of Nik Bonitto. The former second-round pick is having a breakout year and is making a strong case to be the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year.

He is coming off back-to-back games with defensive touchdowns. He had a pick-six against the Browns, and this past Sunday, he returned a fumble for a touchdown against the Colts. On top of that, he is tied with T.J. Watt for the third most sacks in the NFL with 11.
