The Steelers defensive playmaker led all contenders with -400 odds.
Watt is one of only two players to record more than 20 sacks in fewer than 15 games since sacks became a statistic in 1982. He recorded 22.5 sacks this season, tying Michael Strahan’s all-time record while also leading the NFL for a second straight year.
Only twelve players have tallied more than 20 sacks in a complete season, one of which is his brother, J.J. Watt.
Watt also recorded 64 total tackles with 16 assists.
Here’s where betting closed for DPOY:
Steelers linebacker TJ Watt -400
Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons +200
Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald +500
If you took Watt before the season started, you received good value at +750.
