I would say he should be in the conversation, Top 5.

What has his teams done in the playoffs? Does he play D?

If playoff performances are to be taken into consideration, then Wandale Robinson had no business ever getting a sniff at the award. :eyeroll:

Regardless, McCracken has been 2-3 in the playoffs in the last 3 years. Hayes has played some defense. I've not seen him in person (simply providing stats), but it appears from his numbers that he either has seen a scant amount of time on defense, or hasn't really been much of a defensive presence if he's spent any notable amount of time in the game. He has 11 career tackles and 3 fumble recoveries.
