Patrick Surtain II won the Defensive Player of the Year award in 2024. If he hopes to repeat in 2025, it won't be an easy task. For the most part, Surtain will follow the opposition's best wide receiver any given week.
It doesn't always workout like that, but it's a fair assessment. Surtain was the first draft pick of the George Paton era back in 2021, and it could not have been the better selection, as Surtain not only won the DPOY in 2024, but he's also got three Pro Bowls and two All-Pros.
He just turned 25 years old back in April, so he's only just now entering his mid-20s.
