Aaron Donald was named Defensive Player of the Year this weekend, and T.J. Watt made it known he thought it was the wrong move. The Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro outside linebacker took to twitter to express his lack of jubilee for being snubbed. He obviously thought he should have been named Defensive Player of the Year.
Not to be outdone, J.J. Watt, T.J.'s brother, jumped on twitter as well to add to his brother's case. J.J. Watt's twitter post read, "Aaron Donald is an absolutely incredible player. I love watching him play & he's headed to the Hall of Fame without question," J.J. continued, "This has nothing to do with AD personally. This is me saying what my brother won't. T.J. played 1 less game and STILL led the NFL in every major category."
T.J. did take home some hardware. Although he didn't get the DPOY, he did receive the Deacon Jones Award. That award is given to the NFL sack leader each year.
