2014 Sam Huff Defensive Player Of The Year: Ryan Kerrigan

Ryan Kerrigan turned in a career year in 2014 with a team-best 13.5 sacks.

Ryan Kerrigan in 2014 turned in one of the best overall performances by a pass rusher in Washington Redskins history.

On Wednesday, the outside linebacker was honored for his efforts by being named the 2014 Sam Huff Washington Redskins Defensive Player of the Year at the 54th annual Washington Redskins Welcome Home Luncheon.

Presenting the award on Wednesday to Kerrigan was none other than Redskins great pass rusher Ken Harvey.

The accolade is just the latest of many for the Purdue product, who in May was revealed as the 78th-best player in the league on the NFL Network’s “Top 100 Players of 2015” list, which is based on votes by players across the NFL.
