Yet another regular season is now in the books, and we turn our attention to the highly anticipated postseason. The 14-team playoff bracket is set, and the action begins with the Los Angeles Rams hosting the Carolina Panthers on Saturday, January 10th. <\/p>

But, while the playoffs will command all the attention going forward, it is still important to note the notable contributions of those players who left their hearts and souls on the field each and every week for their team. <\/p>

In this article, we will take a look at the top defensive players whose extraordinary season gives them a chance at bagging the prestigious NFL<\/a> Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) award for the 2025-26 NFL regular season. <\/p>

As per FanDuel<\/a><\/strong>, Browns’ defensive end Myles Garrett leads all defenders with the best odds to bag his second NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, having won it previously in the 2023 season. Garrett is followed by Giants’ defensive end Brian Burns and Texans’ defensive ends Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. <\/p>

2025-26 NFL DPOY Favorites Right Now<\/h2>

Let us now take a look at the top 3 favorites to land the NFL DPOY award this season. <\/p>

Myles Garrett<\/h3>

The Browns<\/a> had a terrible season once again. Not only did they miss the playoffs, but they also finished with just a 5-12 record. Most of the struggles were on the offensive side of the ball as the defense did more than its fair share.  <\/p>

The Browns’ defense was spearheaded by Garrett, who eventually finished with an NFL record of 23 sacks on the season. Having Garrett standing on the opposite side completely disrupted several offensive game plans, and teams found it extremely tough to play their natural game as he created a total of 75 pressures, 38 hurries, and 13 quarterback hits. <\/p>

Brian Burns<\/h3>

Myles Garrett was in a league of his own this season, but after him, Giants’ defensive end Brian Burns racked up 16.5 sacks to finish in second position. Prior to the start of the season, New York’s defensive line was expected to perform at a high level, Burns certainly lived up to the hype. <\/p>

The 27-year-old not only came in second with 16.5 sacks, but he also had 51 total pressures, 23 hurries, 13 QB hits, and led the league with 7 batted passes. <\/p>

Danielle Hunter<\/h3>

Over the course of the season, the Houston Texans<\/a> improved steadily, and they were led primarily by their defense. Disruptive duo Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. were the main game changers as they finished with 27 sacks between themselves, with Hunter accounting for 15 of those. That also meant the former Viking finished third in total sacks this season. <\/p>

Hunter and Anderson teamed up to form the best defense in the league, and the former also finished second in the league with 59 hurries and had 82 total pressures. <\/p>

After starting my professional career as a French-to-English translator, working as a content writer is a new adventure for me. I started out in the sports media field for two main reasons: my love for sports in general, especially the NFL, NBA, and Tennis, as well as my passion for writing. The best part of this job is that I get to write a variety of pieces with the freedom to explore content from various angles. It also enables me to stay up to date with the sporting world, which otherwise can be difficult to do in the day-to-day grind. In a world full of chaos, sports unite and entertain like nothing else!","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/devakul"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/devavrat\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646900"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=646900"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646900\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":646914,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646900\/revisions\/646914"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/646907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=646900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=646900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=646900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
