It’s been awesome to see Micah Parsons become a consensus Defensive Player of the Year candidate.
As Jeremy Fowler of ESPN noted, the company “surveyed league executives, coaches, scouts and players” to get their top 10 players at the position. ESPN then gathered the results and ranked players “based on number of top-10 votes, composite average, along with dozens of interviews, research and film-study help from ESPN NFL analyst Matt Bowen.”
Bosa topped the edge-rushers, which isn’t a shock after he led the NFL with 18.5 sacks last season, his second straight season with 15 or more sacks.
