Film Gulls: Bobby Wagner is a legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidate

Bobby Wagner should be one of the leading candidates for the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award. It’s as simple as that.

If you’ve read my articles in the past, this won’t be any news to you. I’ve been singing Wagner’s praises throughout the entire season.

His consistency throughout ten games has been remarkable and, as crazy as it might seem, he looks like he’s playing better and better as the season progresses.

That tweet was sent after Seattle played against the Jets, a full three weeks before his absurdly dominant performance in Arizona. After going four straight games with 13 or more tackles, Wagner had a quiet showing against the Patriots.
