The three finalists have been named for many college football awards including the Chuck Bednarik Award, which is given to the defensive player of the year. The finalists for the award are: Alabama defensive end Jonathan Allen, Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett, and Michigan defensive back/linebacker Jabrill Peppers. When you first hear those names, it seems like three great choices, but a more deserving candidate was missed: Utah defensive end Hunter Dimick. Both Allen and Garrett play the same position as Dimick, allowing for an "apples to apples" comparison between the three players, while Peppers plays a totally different position for Michigan.
