We have seen some dominant defensive performances in the first eight weeks of the 2016 NFL season. Over the second half of the season, we will see who can keep producing, who can get hot and who can carry their team into the playoffs. Help us rank some of the league’s top defensive players and decide who deserves to be crowned the 2016 NFL Defensive Player of the Year as #1 on our ranked list below. Upvote and downvote (arrows to the left of the names) to decide the rankings!
Be sure to share and keep coming back to vote throughout the final weeks of the season!
