QUINN NAMED PFWA DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR

ST. LOUIS –
Rams DE Robert Quinn added another honor Wednesday as the Pro Football Writers of America announced that they’ve selected the NFC sack leader as their Defensive Player of the Year.

Quinn, who earlier this week was named All-NFL and All-NFC by the PFWA, finished second in the NFL and led the NFC with 19.0 sacks. His sack total is the most by a Ram since sacks became an official statistic in 1982.

In addition to leading the NFC in sacks, Quinn finished second in the NFL with seven forced fumbles and coaches credited him with a team-high 18 tackles for loss this season as well as 36 quarterback pressures and 33 quarterback hits. He recovered two fumbles and returned one for a touchdown.

Quinn led a Rams pass rush that ranked third in the NFL with 53 sacks this season. The Rams also ranked ninth in the NFL against the run, and Quinn’s presence on the edge has certainly played a key role in St. Louis’ ability to shut down opposing running backs. At the conclusion of his third NFL season, Quinn boasts 34.5 career sacks. His 29.5 sacks since the start of the 2012 season are second most among all defenders in that time frame.

Earlier this offseason, Quinn was selected to his first Pro Bowl and was named First-Team All-Pro.

The Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA) is the official voice of pro football writers, promoting and fighting for access to NFL personnel to best serve the public. The PFWA is made up of accredited writers who cover the NFL and the 32 teams on a daily basis.

What a bust of a player, he didnt throw ANY touchdowns this season.

All jokes aside, congrats to him! Our pass rush was a joy to watch at most times this season.
