Micah Parsons was the most-talked-about defensive player in the NFL for the 2021 season. The 2021 first-round pick finished his rookie season with 64 tackles, 13 sacks and three forced fumbles.
Parsons was so good as a rookie; he received a rare honor when named first-team All-Pro this week. Parsons was named to the Pro Bowl last month and is a lock to win NFL defensive rookie of the year next month. He will also be a finalist for NFL defensive player of the year.
Not bad for a rookie, especially one who didn’t play football in 2020.
