Former PSU star Micah Parsons is Vegas favorite to win NFL Defensive Player of the Year

Micah Parsons has seen second place twice for NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2021 and 2022, so is 2023 the year for Parsons?

I believe the former Penn State standout is primed to receive the top individual honor in the professional ranks in his third season for the Dallas Cowboys.

In 2021, Parsons was the runner-up for the award to Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt, and in 2022, Parsons lost to San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa.

Parsons has won NFL awards before, in 2021, he won the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
