Steelers edge defender T.J. Watt is gaining ground on Aaron Donald to become the Defensive Player of the Year in 2020.

I can’t say that this comes as a total surprise, but nearly halfway through the 2020 NFL season, Pittsburgh Steelers star edge defender, T.J. Watt, has the second-best odds to become the Defensive Player of the Year in 2020. The only player currently standing in his way is future Hall-of-Famer, Aaron Donald.

According to Oddschecker.com, Watt recently surpassed Myles Garrett for the second-best odds to earn DPOY honors after yet another stellar performance.
