Watt’s had an insane start to the 2023 season, leading the league in sacks (six), quarterback hits (12), total pressures generated (20) and tying for first in forced fumbles and fumble recoveries (2).
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons was named NFC Defensive Player of the Month, and Watt’s stats are better, so let’s just refer to him NFL Defensive Player of the Month.
