Garrett took home his first Defensive Player of the Year award in 2023. He racked up 42 tackles and 14 sacks, his sixth straight season with double-digit sacks, while acting as the fulcrum of the Browns defense. The 28-year-old has made five All-Pro teams.

Bosa, the 2022 Defensive Player of the Year, put together a third straight productive and healthy season in San Francisco. He set a career high with 53 tackles and made 10.5 sacks while forcing two fumbles as the 49ers reached the Super Bowl.

Watt, healthy after a down 2022, led the NFL with 19 sacks last season and nearly won his second DPOY. It was Watt's third time leading the NFL in sacks.

Unlike his contemporaries, Parsons has not landed his long-term megadeal with the Cowboys. That said, he remains one of the most productive all-around defensive players in football. The Penn State product has been a Pro Bowler in each of his first three NFL seasons and set a career high with 14 sacks in 2023.
