NFL Award Predictions 2015: MVP, Rookie Of The Year, Defensive Player Of The Year Candidates

Among the NFL's major individual awards only one, and possibly two, seem like open and shut cases. Houston Texans defensive end and three-time Pro Bowler J.J. Watt figures to waltz away with the Defensive Player of the Year award by a wide margin. It will be the second piece of DPOY hardware in three years for Watt, who posted his second season with 20.5 sacks while defending 10 passes and recovering five fumbles for a Houston defense that allowed 19.2 points and 348.2 total yards per game.
