If there is any award in PFF’s portfolio that has been completely owned by one player, it is our award for the NFL's best run defender, which may as well be (and maybe one day will be) named after Lions interior defender Damon Harrison.
Every year we have given out this award, it has gone to the man they call “Snacks,” and he has done that in multiple different defenses. Harrison has been the gold standard in run defense at any position during his entire career, but injuries took their toll this season, and we saw his first significant drop in production, opening the door for a new winner of the award.
