It's gonna be a hell of a race between him, Von Miller, and JJ Watt. It's going to take the rest of the year to resolve a true winner.

Aldon has to win DPOY if he breaks the single-season sack record. Watt is having an incredible year though. 14.5 sacks as a 3-4 DE is unheard of, and he still has 5 more games left to play.

Could come down to a sack race between him and Watt. Von Miller is in the hunt too.

I think if he gets the sack record, he'll win DPOY. Otherwise, it'll probably go to Watt or Von Miller.

He's coming on strong though. 11 sacks in his last 4 games. That's incredible.

Aldon Smith is peaking. JJ Watt has had lots of ink. Von Miller is a beast. Neck and neck down the stretch.
