Patrick Surtain II has made an indelible impression on NFL media.
defense has been balling. Five straight weeks of great football have led Denver to a 3-2 record at this point in the season.
Surtain is undoubtedly the straw that stirs the drink for Denver, and he's playing Hall-of-Fame-caliber ball right now. Just how good has Surtain II been so far in 2024?on NFLN, Tice broke down the Broncos defense and just how incredible PS2 has been this season. Historically, the DPoY has gone to a front-seven player who has the ability to accumulate far more counting stats that are easier for voters who don’t watch every snap of every game to see. Whether it be tackles from a linebacker or sacks from a pass rusher, unless a defensive back is approaching double-digit interceptions or putting up an absurd number of defensive touchdowns, the awards just don't go to defensive backs all that often.
Defense is and will always be about the sum of the parts being greater than the individual pieces, and without the pass rushers and defensive line stepping up and the other corners playing tight coverage in man, Surtain’s impact would be lessened. But his ability in man coverage, his tackling, and, starting last week, his playmaking ability should keep him in the DPoY conversation as long as the Broncos continue to win and the defense keeps playing at an elite level.
