OK, got the skinny

From the official award criteria:

“*Be a down lineman, end-to-end, either on offense or defense, setting up no farther than 10 yards to the left or right of the ball at the time of snap.
*Be a linebacker on defense, setting up no farther than five yards deep from the line of scrimmage.”

Weird. I never knew that. The last LB to win was A.J. Hawk in 2005 (missed that one, obviously). Before that was Dat Nguyen in 1998. Others: Marvin Jones (‘91), Percy Snow (’89), Chris Spielman (‘87), Cornelius Bennet (’86).
