DaRon Bland’s historic season gets overlooked at NFL Honors​

Despite a record-setting season, Bland received little love in DPOY voting.

The NFL Honors took place on Thursday night, celebrating the individual accomplishments of players across the league. In just his second season, CB DaRon Bland attended the event as a finalist for the Defensive Player of the Year award. He was joined by his teammate Micah Parsons, who was a finalist for the third-straight year. Bland’s season for the Cowboys was the opposite of bland. In fact, it was historic for a defensive back. In his first season playing on the outside, Bland had a league-leading nine interceptions. Five of his interceptions were returned for a touchdown, breaking the NFL single-season record for most in a season.

Not only was he a great ball-hawk for the Cowboys, but he was consistently a shutdown corner for the team throughout the season. According to PFF, Bland allowed just 725 yards and three touchdowns throughout the season. This is an average of just 42.6 receiving yards per game. He also only allowed 48 receptions on 89 targets throughout the season.

Despite his record-breaking season, Bland received the least amount of votes out of the five finalists for the award. Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett took the award, with Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt finishing as the runner up. Parsons finished third in voting, after being the runner-up for the award the previous two seasons. Las Vegas Raiders Maxx Crosby received the fourth most votes, leaving Bland in last among the finalists.

How does a CB set NFL record for pick 6's in a season and lead all in INT's and only get 5th....politics
