This time, there was no disagreement on defensive player of the year.

How could there be?

Texans defensive end J.J. Watt was rewarded for his historic season by being named the league's defensive player of the year. He received all 50 votes, making this the first time in this voting system that award has been won unanimously.

He was close two years ago when, in his second NFL season, Watt received 49 of 50 votes for defensive player of the year. That one errant vote went to Broncos' Von Miller, cast by ESPN's Ashley Fox, who has since apologized to Watt and wrote this mea culpa. Watt was gracious with her, but it was an experience that likely colored his view on awards. He's repeatedly said he can't control how people vote, so why worry about winning awards? That mentality came in handy as he fielded those MVP questions all the way back in October.

Watt was dynamic from start to finish in 2014. In his season opener, Watt had a sack, a fumble recovery, a batted pass, a blocked extra point and three tackles. Three weeks later came his first defensive touchdown, in which he intercepted Bills quarterback E.J. Manuel and returned the pick 80 yards. Watt also hit him nine times.

Watt's longevity shows in this second award. His 20.5 sacks this season made him the first player since sacks were recorded to have multiple 20-sack seasons. He became only the second player in NFL history to have multiple seasons with 10 sacks and 10 pass breakups (he had nine batted passes and one interception). He scored five touchdowns, three of them offensive and notched multiple sacks in every game against a division opponent, finishing with 14 against the AFC South.

What more can he do? He wants to show you.

"You never want to be satisfied," Watt said, according to Randy McIlvoy of KPRC. "There's always room to get even better. I will just keep working."

That's exactly why he's here ... again.
