Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson was predicted to win Comeback Player of the Year with a whopping 15 of the 30 votes, and All-Pro offensive tackle Penei Sewell was voted to win the new Protector of the Year award with nine votes.<\/p>\n

Hutchinson, who is coming off a broken leg, has been sensational during training camp and also earned the fourth-highest number of votes for Defensive Player of the Year. It should come as little surprise that he\u2019s in the mix for both awards, especially considering NFL fans voted Hutchinson the most likely to win DPOY<\/a> in our most recent SB Nation fan survey.<\/p>\n

As for Sewell, it also makes a lot of sense that he would be the frontrunner for the new POTY award, seeing as he was recently voted as the 13th best player in the NFL top 100<\/a>, the highest ranking of any offensive lineman in the league this year.<\/p>\n

Additionally, running back Jahmyr Gibbs also received the second-highest number of votes for Offensive Player of the Year, losing to Ja\u2019Marr Chase, while Amon-Ra St. Brown was tied for sixth for the award.<\/p>\n

Finally, Lions coach Dan Campbell received the fourth most votes for Coach of the Year, an award that the NFL.com analysts will go to rookie Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson. It wasn\u2019t an overwhelming majority, but the former Lions offensive coordinator won eight votes for the title. The article doesn\u2019t include explanations from the analysts behind their votes, but does reveal how many votes other candidates got for each award.<\/p>\n
