T.J. Watt Snubbed For Pro Football Writers Of America’s Defensive Player Of The Year Award

The annual Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) awards are being given out this week. They kicked the week off with naming their All-Pro team, which included OLB T.J. Watt and ST Miles Killebrew, and followed that up with the All-Rookie team on Tuesday. Joey Porter Jr. was the lone Steelers rookie to make the cut there. Today, they announced their MVP, and their offensive and defensive players of the year. Watt was snubbed and Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett won PFWA’s DPOY, per a release on the organization’s website.

Watt was recently named the NFL Committee of 101’s defensive player of the year, as voted on by broadcasters and members of the media that cover the league on a regular basis.
