Dallas Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons knows a thing or two about impressive rookie seasons and, on Tuesday, he revealed who he believes should be named Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Parsons cast his vote on social media in response to a question from Fox Sports senior national writer and NFL Network sports analyst Peter Schrager.

In the Jets’ season finale, Wilson recorded 89 receiving yards and a career-high of nine receptions to cap a record-breaking season. His receiving yards were the most for a rookie in Jets history.
Parsons also threw Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner into the mix for potential Defensive Rookie of Year but added that Seattle Seahawks fifth-round draft pick Tariq Woolen may have the "edge."
