Polamalu named Defensive Player of the Year
Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu was named the Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year.
Polamalu won the award in a very close race, edging out Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews by just a couple of votes.
The safety didn’t have his best statistical season in 2010, but he made a number of big plays that changed the outcomes in games.
Polamalu is a fantastic player and had a very good year, but a number of other players were probably more deserving of the award.
You could have stayed on the same team and given the award to James Harrison. Matthews, Charles Woodson, Haloti Ngata and Ed Reed were also just as deserving.
