Despite some early comparisons to Lawrence Taylor, Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons isn't getting ahead of himself.
"I would definitely say it's way too early," Parsons said Wednesday. "It's an honor."
The 2021 first-round pick has dominated early in his NFL career, totaling 12 sacks with 75 tackles in 13 games. He has at least one sack in each of the last six games.
Not only has Parsons become a favorite for Defensive Rookie of the Year, but he also is suddenly a top contender for the league's Defensive Player of the Year award.
