NFL rookie rankings 2021: Micah Parsons surges to No. 1 in our top 10, Mac Jones leads all QBs and more

Article Summary:
Twelve weeks into the 2021 NFL season and we are squarely in the body-of-work zone for the league’s first-year players. Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons ascends to that spot, as he continues to be versatile, impactful and exceedingly busy, given he has played 84% of the team’s defensive snaps. It isn’t about some flash here, a big play there and a mistake over there; it’s about play from Weeks 1 through 12 as a whole. It’s about degree of difficulty in what these players are being asked to do and how they’ve handled it.
