Ever since the Dallas Cowboys drafted linebacker Micah Parsons in 2021, he's dominated the field with his unique ability to play multiple positions, as well as one of the NFL's best pass rushers.
Now, he's reigning supreme in another way.
Parsons finished with the top-selling jersey in the league for October, making him the first defensive player to do so during the 2022 season.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen came in second with Kansas City Chiefs signal-caller Patrick Mahomes finishing third. Running backs Christian McCaffrey of San Francisco and Saquon Barkley of the New York Giants landed in the four and five spots.
After racking up 13 sacks, being named a first-team All-Pro, and winning Defensive Rookie of the Year a season ago, Parsons is back terrorizing opposing offenses. His eight sacks are the second-most in the NFL (three players tied with 8.5). Also, he's tallied two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, nine quarterback hits, 22 hurries, and 39 pressures.
The aforementioned fumble recovery came with some fireworks. Parsons had to awareness to realize he wasn't touched after Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields did a Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka leap over him. Parsons channeled his old days as a running back and took it in for his first NFL touchdown.
There doesn't seem to be anything Parsons can't do, making him one of football's rare talents in quite some time, if ever, which makes it no surprise that plenty of fans want to dawn his number.
