Myles Garrett had 5 sacks yesterday. Will Anderson Jr completely destroyed every member of the 49ers OLine. Brian Burns is tied with Garrett for the most sacks in the league. Byron Young and Nik Bonnito are right behind them. Aidan Hutchinson is having a good all around year with 6 sacks and also 4 forced fumbles. All of these players are having better years statistically than Micah Parsons, yet Parsons, who is having a good year, is the favourite to win defensive player of the year.
Current Odds:
Micah Parson +145 Myles Garrett +300 Aidan Hutchinson +500 Nik Bonnito +750 Will Anderson Jr +1000 Jared Verse +1800 Brian Burns +3000 Maxx Crosby +5000 Danielle Hunter +5000 Rashan Gary +5500
So Parsons is going to get DPOY because he got traded from Cowboys to the Packers in a blockbuster deal while 5 or 6 other guys have better seasons?
Sats for all, GR

I think Parsons is getting a lot of credit for how much better the Packers D looks overall, which might be the case. I am not saying he isn't a great player or hasn't had a good year but it seems like he is getting the benefit of narrative more than actual production.
