The honors have already been rolling in for Dallas Cowboys rookie Micah Parsons, who was just selected for the Pro Bowl and named Defensive Rookie of the Month for the second time. Now the presumptive defensive Rookie of the Year and strong contender for Defensive Player of the Year can added another, and he is not alone. Osa Odighizuwa joins Parsons on Gil Brandt’s 2021 Defensive All-Rookie Team.
This is a testament to the quality of this year’s draft for Dallas. There are only 12 rookies who made the list (one extra include a third cornerback in nickel defenses while not taking a linebacker off the list), and two of the 12 are Cowboys players
Here is what Brandt wrote about the two members of his list.
