Micah Parsons’ experience with the Green Bay Packers has been great, thus far. It’s not always going to be rosy for him and his new team, but the former Penn State Nittany Lions does appear to be in an ideal position to win a Super Bowl, perhaps as soon as 2026.
Traded to Green Bay by the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a couple of future draft picks and veteran defensive tackle Kenny Clark just before the start of the 2025 NFL season, Parsons has seemingly found his fit already on the Packers’ defense. To further prove that, Parsons has just beennamed the NFC Defensive Player of the Month for the month of October.
“He’s been outstanding,” Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur said of Parsons (h/tWes Hodkiewicz of the team’s website). “All those guys are kind of feeding off one another. Certainly he gets a lot of attention in regards to protections and a lot of times he’s defeating a chip. Then, they might even slide to him, which opens up opportunities for everybody else.

Green Bay announced Parsons’ NFC honor via social media as well.
“You know that’s right. Micah Parsons is the NFC Defensive Player of the Month!” the teamsharedon Instagram.
Parsons surely appreciated the message from Green Bay, as he reposted the graphic and added a caption that read: “Thank you, God.”

Parsons had a solid three-game outing in October, none bigger than his incredible three-sack performance in a Week 7 win in Glendale over the Arizona Cardinals. He followed that up with a sack in last Sunday’s victory on the roadover Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. On the season, the 26-year-old Parsons has 6.5 sacks and nine solo tackles through seven games.
