JJ Watt has said that he wants to be named the NFL's most valuable player.
The Houston Texans defensive end is hoping to become only the third defensive player to be awarded the honour since its introduction in 1957.
Watt hold the Texans' website: "It's on the list. That's a goal. I'm trying to add that title myself, so we'll see.
"If I'm not mistaken, [linebacker Lawrence Taylor] was the last one to win the MVP as a defensive player."
Watt has 16.5 sacks so far this season.
The Associated Press hands out the award every year, with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers currently holding the title.
