Is T.J. Watt's dominant start foreshadowing another D.P.O.Y award?
T.J. Watt continues to prove week in and week out that he is a force to be reckoned with for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Whether he is sacking the quarterback, forcing a fumble, or stuffing the run, one thing remains certain—Watt is inevitable.
Watt's 2024 resume speaks for itself. Through 8 games played, his four forced fumbles are tied for first, his ten tackles for loss are tied for second, his nine QB hits are tied for fifth, and his six and a half sacks are tied for ninth.
The former 2021 D.P.O.Y. winner is looking to build on this fantastic statistical output and put together an undeniable campaign to win the illustrious award for a second time.
DraftKings currently has Watt as the odds-on favorite to win the award through nine weeks, ahead of elite defenders such as Kansas City Chiefs' DT Chris Jones, New York Giants' DT Dexter Lawrence, Houston Texans' EDGE Will Anderson Jr., and Detroit Lions Safety Kerby Joseph.
Can Watt achieve his second D.P.O.Y. award in 2024, or will his efforts result in him being snubbed once again?
