It is usually easy to rank former Defensive Players of the Year, but as we are ten years deep into the career of Stephon Gilmore, and it looks like we now know what we have.  After a decent run in Buffalo, Gilmore had an out-of-nowhere DPOY year in 2019 (though it did follow a really good 2018), though he has not matched that year since. A Panther two years ago, and a Colt last year, his lone season in Indianapolis broke a four-year streak of Pro Bowls.  He enters 2023 as a Cowboy, but his best years are behind him.
