(LEARFIELD) – Green Bay Packers safety Xavier McKinney is the choice of one NFL writer as a potential Defensive Player of the Year.
McKinney finished in the top eight for the award last season.
Pro Football Network reports McKinney had been one of the better safeties while playing for the Giants.
PFN’s Jacob Infante says Green Bay’s defensive standout took his play “to a whole new level” when he arrived at Lambeau Field.
PTwo Packers have won that top defensive award in the past – Charles Woodson and Reggie White.
