Parsons is chasing history as well this season.
Micah Parsons is the reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Unlike most NFL accolades, this is a title that is impossible to defend because Parsons will never be a rookie again. You only get one opportunity to win an award like that, unlike the more senior version of the award which is the NFL Defensive Player of the Year (a title Parsons arguably should have won last year as well).
