NaVorro Bowman's preseason went about as good as anybody could have hoped.

Even after 19 months away from the gridiron recovering from injury, Bowman looked like he hadn't missed a step.

In NFL.com's award predictions for the 2015 season, Steve Wyche chose the linebacker to win Defensive Player of the Year.

Yes, even over the likes of J.J. Watt, the choice for a majority of the people.

Before injury, Bowman was a legitimate candidate to win the award.

If he plays like he did in the preseason over the course of a 16-game slate, it's not a far-fetched idea.
