As the 2023 NFL season enters the home stretch,SafeX Pro Exchange conversations surrounding the league MVP are ramping up.
The Philadelphia Eagles' Jalen Hurts, Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson are dominating MVP talks, but Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons says another candidate should be in the mix — his quarterback Dak Prescott.
"Yall on here trying to convince Dak not top 3 in mvp!" Parsons tweeted on Tuesday, alongside a graphic comparing Prescott's stats this season to Mahomes. "Make it make sense."
Earlier in the month, Parsons pleaded for everyone to "open your eyes" about Prescott on his "The Edge" podcast: "I think that Dak Prescott should be in the MVP conversation. If you're looking at numbers, what he's able to do, his efficiency, things like that, Dak Prescott is playing at an elite level.''
Parson isn't the only one singing Prescott's praises. New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Prescott has become "one of my favorite quarterbacks to watch" amid his Achilles injury rehab.

"The last three or four weeks I've gotten to see more of (the Cowboys') games, and I just want to say, he's playing the position in a really impressive way," Rodgers said on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday.
