Aaron Donald – Winner

How much more does Aaron Donald need to do before we put him in the MVP race? Donald is playing like best player in all of football right now. Week 13 was no different for Donald as he was once again an absolute terror.

Donald wrecked the Lions offensive line in week 13. He ended the game with five tackles, four tackles for a loss, four quarterback hits, and two sacks. Donald was in the backfield on what seemed like every play. These types of performances are becoming routine for him.

Donald now has 16.5 sacks on the year and is on pace for over 20. It is time Donald starts getting recognized for not just defensive player of the year, but for MVP.
