    J.J. Watt is speaking out on Twitter, and he says his brother T.J. should have gotten the Defensive Player of the year award instead of Aaron Donald. He posted this graph to try and prove his point.

    Sean McDermitt has been passed up 3 years in a row. He took a perennial loser and lead them to the playoffs 3 out of 4 years. I call BS.

    Oh my goodness, Twitter certainly is in an uproar about T.J. Watt not getting the Defensive Player of the Year award. Twitter is feisty today!

    This is cool video of Charles Woodson being surprised with the news that he's going into the Hall of Fame.

    Calvin Johnson made the HOF yesterday on his first try. He is 35 and hasn't played in years. Brady is 43 and still playing. Wrap your head around that

    I have always been under the assumption that these are regular season awards. Is this correct? If so, yes, I thought McDermitt deserved it. A lot of what I am seeing about Stefanski includes the Steelers playoff win.

    T.J. Watt posted this on Twitter about the Defensive Player of the Year award.

    TJ got absolutely robbed.

    Calvin Johnson in my opinion did not play long enough to warrant him on the first ballot

    Yes but he was the best during his run. He made the all decade team 2010-2019 and didn't even play the last 4 years of the decade.

    One of the best nicknames ever and apply named. Megatron. Man I miss watching him

    It is regular season. The voting is completed before the playoffs.

    At least Brian Dabol Bills OC won assistant of the year

    Josh Allen won Fantasy Player of the year. I didn't even know there was such a thing

    Josh Allen received 4 MVP votes and placed 2nd. I predicted top 3 before the season.
    He’s the first Buffalo Bill to receive MVP votes since Thurman Thomas in 1991.

    TJ had a great year and for sure he was explosive coming off the snap.
    Didn't see him get double teamed often.
    You can count on Donald getting double teamed.
    That is why his paper numbers seem higher than Donald.

    I think alex smith deservedly won that award as soon as he took his first snap this year

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    Not one NFL commentator said otherwise to the above statement.
    I think he deserves Comeback player of the century.
