T.J. Watt has been atop the list of the NFL’s best defensive players for five years now. He has received votes to be the league’s Defensive Player of the Year in four out of those five seasons, and a strong argument could be made that he was snubbed in two of the three years that he received votes but didn’t win.
There have only been eight players in league history to win it twice, including three players that won it in three separate years. T.J. Watt’s older brother J.J. Watt is one of those three players. It is going to be difficult to catch up to his older brother at this point, but could he still join the elite ranks and become the ninth player to ever win it more than once?
