The Dallas Cowboys landed a true generational talent when they took Micah Parsons in the NFL Draft.
It didn’t take long until the Penn State product proved to be one of the most explosive and versatile players in the league, running away with NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors and even being a legit candidate for Defensive Player of the Year as well.
Parsons didn’t miss a step in his second season in the league, being even more impactful and impressive.

Cowboys safety Jayron Kearse on DE/LB Micah Parsons: “I expect a Defensive Player of the Year type of year from him. Hands down. If I was a betting guy, my money is on him. I’ve just seen the way he’s come in this year, different than the previous two. He has the ability to wreck…

He can be lined up almost everywhere, and rival teams have no way to prepare for what’s to come when he’s on the field.
Of course, it takes more than just one player to be good and find success in this league, but the Cowboys have done an outstanding job of putting this defense together.
Even so, most of their Super Bowl aspirations will once again hang on Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy’s shoulders, but their defense will at least put them in a position to succeed more often than not this season.
