The NFL MVP race has experienced its twists and turns every single week this season.
But the same cannot be said of the race for the Defensive Rookie of the Year Award, which seems to include a clear path to the finish line for Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons.
The former Penn State Nittany Lion and No. 12 overall draft pick has been sensational this season and is a big reason for the Cowboys’ performance on that side of the ball (8th with 21.4 points allowed per game).
He’s the clear favorite to earn this award — barring unforeseen circumstances, he should hoist this trophy at season’s end.
