NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award

NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award

Die Ernennung zum NFL Defensive Player of the Year (NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award) wird jährlich durch die Associated Press (AP) dem besten Defensespieler (Abwehrspieler) einer Saison im professionellen American Football zugesprochen. Neben der Associated Press hat auch die "Newspaper Enterprise Association" (NEA) von 1966 bis 1996 einen Preis für den besten Abwehrspieler des Jahres vergeben. Der Titel stellt eine hohe Auszeichnung dar und steigert das Renommee eines Spielers. Die Auszeichnung gilt als die wichtigste Auszeichnung an einen Abwehrspieler durch die amerikanische Presse. Eine automatische Aufnahme in die Pro Football Hall of Fame ist damit nicht verbunden. Viele Spieler, denen diese Ehrung zuteil wurde, wurden allerdings nach ihrer aktiven Laufbahn in die Ruhmeshalle des Profifootballs aufgenommen.
