That and the fact that he is like 5th in the league in tackles as a rookie who has only started 9 games this year

For a linebacker, its a pretty good stat. I know he is also top 5 in solo tackles as well

It’s just not kept accurately or objectively. Teams are the ones who keep the stat and defenders buddy up to the stat guys to pad the stats.

I agree, but I just check and he is 3rd in the NFL in solo tackles. Cant pad that stat

I live in DFW, I'm stuck watching their stupid arse games each week and you don't think I've seen him play? He's probably the 4th or 5th best DPOY candidate.


He's only a name because he is in Dallas, yet you say he is Top 5 for DPOY. Which is it?

No, I don't. Or else you're stupid. I guess that's possible.

Nelson also just made the Pro Bowl.
Not saying he should win OROY

But he’s had a damn good year.
May even be all Pro

Denzel Ward looked good for this until he got hurt. With Nick Bosa coming next year the Buckeyes had a chance for four in a row.
