To say that Micah Parsons was a revelation in 2021 would be a giant understatement. The Dallas Cowboys first-round draft pick in 2021 was kind of an accidental Cowboy after both the corners Dallas wanted were taking ahead of the team’s pick at number ten. One small trade later, the Cowboys nabbed Parsons and stumbled into one of the best defenders in the NFL.
By the time Parsons had finished his rookie year, everyone was thinking how did eleven other teams pass on this guy? Parsons had one of the most dominant rookie seasons ever and was seriously in contention for the Defensive Player of the Year award.
