5. Micah Parsons, LB, Cowboys

I think the defensive player that is most likely going to be a Pro Bowl player is Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons. I think that Parsons will be asked to do a lot of things for a rebuilding Dallas defense and I think that Parsons could be in line to put up monster stats.

Parsons is a linebacker that can be used to rush the passer, but he is also excellent in coverage and he can fly around and make plays all over the field.

He is going to be playing a lot of snaps and he is going to have a lot of responsibility and that is why I think he is going to be a pro bowl player. New Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn will give Parsons a lot of responsibility and he’s a talented enough player to handle all of it.

If the Cowboys’ defense turns around this season, Parsons should be a big reason why.
