Watt is the first Texans player to get a league-wide honor. Additionally, he's the first defensive lineman to capture the award since Miami's Jason Taylor won it in 2006.
Watt led the NFL with 20 1/2 sacks this past season and he also knocked down 16 pass attempts, which are the most in NFL history by a defensive lineman. In addition to those stats, Watt paced the Texans with 107 tackles, including 39 for loss.
