The NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) award is the highest possible individual honor for a defensive player to achieve, aside from winning Most Valuable Player — which rarely has happened in recent history. Even more rare is a player winning the DPOY in consecutive seasons. That has happened only three times ever.
Looking ahead to the upcoming 2025 season, there a number of potential candidates to win DPOY and upseat the incumbent winner, CB Patrick Surtain of the Denver Broncos.
According to Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski, Baltimore Ravens’ safety Kyle Hamilton might be able to do just that.
