  • The Defensive Player of the Year Award is given by the Associated Press (AP) to the most outstanding defensive player in the National Football League (NFL) at the end of every season. It has been awarded since 1971. The winner is decided by votes from a panel of 50 AP sportswriters. Since 2011, the award has been presented at the annual NFL Honors ceremony the day before the Super Bowl, along with other AP awards, such as the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award, AP NFL Most Valuable Player Award, and AP NFL Rookie of the Year Award. Lawrence Taylor, J. J. Watt, and Aaron Donald are the only three-time winners of the award. Joe Greene, Ray Lewis, Mike Singletary, Bruce Smith, and Reggie White have each won it twice. Taylor is the only player to win the award as a rookie, doing so in 1981. In 2008, James Harrison became the only undrafted free agent to win the award. White is the only player to win the award with two different teams, winning in 1987 with the Philadelphia Eagles and again with the Green Bay Packers in 1998. J. J. Watt is the only player to win the award unanimously, receiving 50 out of 50 first place votes in 2014. He was also a near-unanimous winner in 2012 as he earned 49 out of 50 votes. As of the end of the 2021 NFL season, linebackers have won the award 17 times, more than any other position. A defensive end has won thirteen times, followed by ten defensive tackles, six cornerbacks, and five safeties. Only two winners of the AP Defensive Player of the Year Award have also won the AP's Most Valuable Player Award for the same season: defensive tackle Alan Page in 1971 for the Minnesota Vikings and linebacker Lawrence Taylor in 1986 for the New York Giants. T. J. Watt is the incumbent holder of the award, winning it for the 2021 NFL season. (en)

  • Der NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award ist die Auszeichnung für den besten Spieler der Defense (Abwehr) in einer Saison der US-amerikanischen American-Football-Liga National Football League (NFL). Die Ernennung zum NFL Defensive Player of the Year wird jährlich durch die Associated Press (AP) durchgeführt. Neben der Associated Press hatte 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 zuteilwurde, wurden allerdings nach ihrer aktiven Laufbahn in die Ruhmeshalle der NFL aufgenommen. (de)

Le gagnant est choisi par un panel de 50 journalistes sportifs de l'AP qui couvrent régulièrement la NFL. Depuis 2011, le prix est décerné la veille du Super Bowl à l'occasion de la cérémonie annuelle des honneurs de la NFL. Lors de cette cérémonie, d'autres prix AP sont décernés et notamment le titre du meilleur joueur offensif de la saison, le prix du NFL MVPet ceux des meilleurs rookies offensif et défensif de la saison. Lawrence Taylor, J. J. Watt et Aaron Donald sont les seuls triples lauréats de ce prix. Joe Greene, Mike Singletary, Bruce Smith, Reggie White et Ray Lewis l’ont chacun remporté deux fois. Taylor est le seul joueur à remporter ce prix en tant que rookie en 1981. En 2008, James Harrison est devenu le seul agent libre non drafté à remporter ce prix. White est le seul joueur à remporter ce prix avec deux équipes différentes puisqu'ille remporte en 1987 avec les Eagles de Philadelphie et en 1998 avec les Packers de Green Bay. Watt est le seul joueur à remporter ce prix à l'unanimité puisqu'en 2014, il reçoit 50 votes sur les 50 possibles. En 2012, il réédite presque cet exploit en recevant 49 votes sur 50. En fin de saison 2021, les linebackers ont remporté le prix à 17 reprises devançant les defensive ends à 13 reprises. Viennent ensuite les defensive tackles (10), les cornerbacks (6) et les safeties (5). Seuls deux gagnants du trophée ont également remporté à l'issue de la même saison, le trophée de l'AP NFL MVP : le défensive tackle Alan Page en 1971 des Vikings du Minnesota et le linebacker Lawrence Taylor en 1986 des Giants de New York. T. J. Watt est le dernier récipiendaire du prix. (fr)
