The NFL Committee of 101 had some good news for Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones on Tuesday. He was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Year. This is on top of recently being named to the 2019 all-NFL team by the Pro Football Writers of America.
Jones had 19 sacks this season. That included 2 games where he recorded 4 sacks. He just fell shy of leading the NFL this past season.
His sack total since joining the Cardinals in 2016 via trade from the New England Patriots is 66. That does lead the NFL. He also is second for 66 tackles for loss and tied for first in forced fumbles.
