Micah Parsons has yet to win the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award.
The Dallas Cowboys’ dynamic linebacker has a trophy case that is brimming with accolades, including multiple Pro Bowls, two First-team All-Pro awards, and an NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award. But despite finishing second in DPOY voting twice, he has not quite been able to get over the hump to finish as the league’s top vote-getter.
