T.J. Watt snubbed for the 2020 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award

With the Super Bowl just hours away it means the National Football League announces their annual awards. This is when it is decided who is considered the Most Valuable Player (MVP), Offensive Player of the Year, Rookies of the Year and, important to Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt, the Defensive Player of the Year Award.

Unfortunately for Watt, the 2020 award went to Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams.

This would be the second year in a row where Watt finished second overall in voting, last year losing out to New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore.
