There had never been a unanimous NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Until now.Victor Wembanyama as expected was announced Monday night as the league's top defensive player. The San Antonio center was second in the voting for DPOY as a rookie, was the favorite last season until a medical condition ended his season prematurely, then left no doubt this year.At 22, he's the youngest winner of the award.Oklahoma City's Chet Holmgren and Detroit's Ausar Thompson were the other finalists, after both helped their teams secure No. 1 seeds for the playoffs. But this was never in doubt, not after the 7-foot-4 or maybe taller Wembanyama led the NBA in blocked shots for a third consecutive season and generally terrorized opponents any time they wanted to score.Best player in the world, Spurs forward Keldon Johnson said.The NBA will continue its award announcements Tuesday when the Clutch Player of the Year either Minnesota's Anthony Edwards, Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Denver's Jamal Murray is revealed. Wembanyama is also a finalist for MVP, with the winner of that trophy not set to be revealed until next week at the earliest.First, the league got this announcement out of the way. And Wembanyama's win was accompanied by a slew of historical significance. Every other winner of the award had been at least 23. Wembanyama doesn't turn 23 until next January. The Spurs became the first franchise with four players to win DPOY, which was first handed out in the 1982-83 season. The others? Alvin Robertson in 1986, David Robinson in 1992 and Kawhi Leonard in 2015 and 2016. Wembanyama joins Robinson and Michael Jordan as the only players to win both Rookie of the Year and DPOY.The biggest accomplishment may be this: Wemby got everybody to agree.Golden State's Stephen Curry was the unanimous MVP in 2016 and in the 10 seasons that have followed, there have been only two instances of a player collecting 100% of the first-place votes for an award.Those were Wembanyama for Rookie of the Year in 2024, and now this.No player in at least the last 50 seasons and maybe ever, since it's hard to say with certainty because some full voting results for awards handed out generations ago are not known publicly has won two awards unanimously.It's the 10th known unanimous pick in any NBA awards vote for MVP, Rookie of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, Most Improved Player, DPOY or Coach of the Year. And some of biggest names like LeBron James and Michael Jordan never won a major award by unanimous decision.I feel like he is one of the hardest workers that Ive ever been around, Johnson said. He takes his craft very seriously. I feel like this is just a small token of whats to come for Victor. Hes a special player now. Hes a special player on the court and even more special person off the court as well. This is just a small token, small flowers thats given to him for Defensive Player of the Year.Holmgren and Thompson both got votes for the first time; a panel of reporters and broadcasters who cover the league were asked to pick their top three in the category, with ballots due last week before the playoffs started.Wembanyama is an MVP finalist (along with Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning MVP, and three-time winner Nikola Jokic of Denver), which almost certainly means he'll be an All-NBA first-team selection. And the DPOY win means he'll also be on the All-Defensive team, so Wembanyama is assured of no fewer than four trophies from this year's award season.___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba

Some NFL draft prospects get worn out by the league's marathon draft process.Fernando Mendoza embraced it. He did the interviews, made the rounds and firmed up his draft night plans with his trademark smile and positive attitude. Now all he can do is wait to see what happens Thursday night.The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback and overwhelming favorite to be taken No. 1 overall said Monday he's enjoyed each step along the path as he anticipates starting the next chapter of his football journey whether it's in Las Vegas backing up Kirk Cousins or going to some other team. It's been long, but it's been great because a job interview usually is a couple of weeks or even a single day in the office, but this job interview has been a couple of months," Mendoza told The Associated Press. The teams know everything about you, and that's been my favorite part. They can peel back the layers and see the true you. It's been great to test my football IQ, my football knowledge.The Raiders or any of the three other teams he spoke to likely found little to quibble with.In fact, Mendoza and pharmaceutical company Pfizer announced Monday they had formed a new partnership with the quarterback becoming a spokesman urging people to get early cancer screenings. It seems a natural pairing given that he has watched someone close to him battle cancer, his mother is still battling multiple sclerosis and his father is a doctor.Two commercials have been cut and are scheduled to air Thursday night, and Mendoza said he expects this campaign, Every Breakthrough Matters, to expand, potentially into other health battles.Still, Mendoza's mind is mostly on football though he's not dropping any hints about whether he knows what the Raiders are thinking.While he's met three times with Las Vegas officials since leading the Indiana Hoosiers to their first national title in mid-January, the Boston-born Mendoza also met his boyhood favorite, Raiders minority owner Tom Brady, who got an in-person look at Mendoza at the championship game.He's also spoken with the New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals and Cleveland Browns, who hold the second, third and sixth overall picks and could be in the market for a new franchise quarterback.But he also denied suggestions he's been studying a Las Vegas playbook, explaining the rumors started after he sought help from former NFL quarterback and quarterbacks coach Brian Griese to get a head start on some elements of what he expects to see wherever he lands. Mendoza and Griese attended the same Miami high school Christopher Columbus decades apart.We knew each other and I reached out to him and said Hey, Ive got to get ready for this. I don't care what my Pro Day looks like, I just want to help my guys on Pro Day and I want to be the best quarterback come September, can you help me with this?' Mendoza said. He (played) in the West Coast offense so we were able to install a lot of West Coast concepts, just general concepts and under center concepts every single team runs.But Mendoza also wants to keep Thursday night low key.Instead of traveling to Pittsburgh where the draft will be held, he wants to spend some time completing this journey with those who helped him reach this point, including his younger brother, Alberto. They'll all be surrounding Fernando Mendoza in Miami on Thursday night.I've done so much traveling this year, it's a lot easier for my mom and her health is at the forefront, Mendoza said. We need to hop on a plane the next day for whatever team drafts me and to be there with the village that's poured into me friends, family, coaches, mentors to be there with all of them and to share the start of this NFL journey, it's going to create the best memory for our family.___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

The decision to reward Will Anderson Jr. and make him the highest paid nonquarterback in NFL history was rooted in his standing as a foundational piece of the Texans.Anderson is pivotal to the Texans present and future as a game-wrecking defensive end capable of harassing quarterbacks and shutting down runs, doubling as a team captain and leader.Anderson signed a three-year, $150 million contract extension that makes him the highest paid defensive player in the league in terms of new money average. He received a $32 million signing bonus and is now under contract through the 2030 season. He received $134 million total guaranteed, $100 million fully guaranteed and a rare no-trade clause on a blockbuster deal negotiated by agent Nicole Lynn of Klutch Sports and Texans general manager Nick CaserioAnd hammering out this contract couldnt have made Texans coach DeMeco Ryans any happier. Earned, not given embodies the situation.Will is an outstanding young man, outstanding player, Ryans said Monday as the Texans launched their offseason conditioning workout program. He shows up every single day, working how we expect guys to work and doing all the things a leader does. Hes a guy that you want guys following.He embodies everything that it means to be a Texan and hes definitely deserving of the contract situation that hes gotten. Hes earned it and hes done an outstanding job of leading.The blockbuster deal exceeds a previous record-setting deal signed by Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons last year, a four-year, $188 million contract with $120 million fully guaranteed and $136 million total guaranteed for a $46.5 million annual average.Although the Texans ultimately lost in the AFC divisional round playoffs to the New England Patriots, it wasnt because of Anderson. He recorded three sacks, two forced fumbles and two tackles for losses.The extremely high value of Anderson as a pass rusher and run-stopper was underscored again, just as it was all season during a breakout year. He finished the regular season with a career-high 12 sacks, 54 tackles, 20 tackles for losses and 23 quarterback hits.Anderson, a former third overall pick acquired after a trade with the Arizona Cardinals, has proven himself at every turn on and off the field as a team captain and feared pass rusher and run-stopper.Trading a first-round draft pick to land Anderson has proven to be an extremely wise investment as they selected him one pick after quarterback C.J. Stroud.The 2023 draft is probably one of the most exciting drafts that Ive been a part of, and I would say one of the most exciting drafts in Texans history, said Ryans, a former NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year selected in 2006 out of Alabama. It was exciting just to know what we were doing. We pick C.J. at the second pick and to know were back on the phones trying to trade up to get Will, it was just an exciting moment, a tense moment.The adrenaline is pumping in the room. It was awesome. Nick executed the trade. It was about the guy we were getting. As we all see, fast forward to where we are now, it was well worth the move. We knew the type of man that Will was, and it was worth moving up to get him and it has paid off big time for us.In just three NFL seasons, Anderson already has recorded 30 sacks, 136 tackles, 46 tackles for losses and 64 quarterback hits.According to Next Gen Stats, Anderson finished with the second-most quarterback pressures in the NFL with 85 overall and the third-highest pressure rate, a 20.5 percent clip. He also set the NFL record for most third-down pressures with 48 in a single season in the Next Gen Stats era.Of course, Anderson said when asked by KPRC 2 after the season about his desire for a new deal with the Texans. I want to be here my whole career. I love the Texans. I love everything about them. You know, they traded up and got me, man.But, you know I dont really like to speak on all these things. But, of course I would love to be here, man, and if its in Gods will to happen, itll happen.Without getting into specifics about future plans, the McNair family made it clear how highly they value both Anderson and quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was secured with a $25.9 million fifth-year club option through 2027 and isnt expected to get an extension this year. The Texans and Stroud are open to future negotiations, though.Well let DeMeco and Nick make the football decisions there, but theyre exciting, really good young players, Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair said. We hope to have them around for a long, long time.PHOENIX -- #Texans Cal McNair and Hannah McNair on potential long-term deals for Will Anderson Jr., C.J. Stroud: 'Exciting, really good players, we'll hope to have them around a long, long time. ..

Both were named Pro Bowl alternates after the 2025 season.Its a good problem to have when you have so many guys you want to keep under contract, Hannah McNair said. If we keep drafting the way we do, this is going to be something we talk about every year.Aaron Wilson is a Texans and NFL reporter for KPRC 2 and click2houston.com
