As a defensive player, I tend to focus on my side of the ball. As a linebacker, I tend to look at my own position to see what I can learn and from whom. This year, I have had a wealth of guys to learn from by watching their film and studying their game. Of course, I have one of the masters in my teammate Johnathon Saint, but I’m not limited to learning from only him. This leads me to one of the guys that I’ve been watching the most this year, someone who is undeniably performing at an elite level.

There really can't possibly be any other Defensive Player of the Year than Angus Winchester. I mean, I don't want to inflate the guy's ego to the size of his waistline, but he has been an absolute monster all season. Here are some stats to back up my claim:

Tackles: 79 - Second in the league
Sacks: 14 - First in the league
Forced Fumbles/Fumbles Recovered: 2/1 - Second in the league
Passes Deflected: 7 - Top 10 for linebackers

I mean, come on. I'm struggling to come up with the words to justify this pick because the stats just speak for themselves. There is no one else who is so highly rated in so many categories. And beyond that, it's not even just performance on the field. The dude's work ethic is just unquestionable. He's constantly practicing, doing media events, offering analysis... He's just an extraordinarily busy and hardworking guy. And for those reasons, he deserves to be DPOY.
