NEW YORK (Jan. 5, 2007) -- Jason Taylor was one hard man to find on the Miami
defense this season. Until, that is, the ball was snapped and he was making
the play.
Taylor's superb all-around performance for the Dolphins earned him
The Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. While Miami
finished just 6-10 in 2006, the dynamic Taylor was having the best season of
his nine-year pro career.
The end who sometimes lines up at linebacker or inside had 62 tackles, 13 1/2
sacks, 14 quarterback hurries, two interceptions -- both returned for TDs --
11 passes defensed, 10 fumbles forced and two fumbles recovered. Yes,
10 fumbles forced, making Taylor a takeaway machine.
Defensive Player of Year Voting
Jason Taylor Miami 22
Champ Bailey Denver 16
Shawne Merriman San Diego 6
Brian Urlacher Chicago 4
Ray Lewis Baltimore 1
Trevor Pryce Baltimore 1
