So it's interesting he isn't listed in top 5. Nor is any of the defensive players like Surtain/Parsons and (so this must be offense only?)

PFF grades have never really worked for purposes of comparing players of two different positions.
.
For example, in Parson's case, stack LB is a position where guys are asked to play the run, cover, and rush the passer a lot.  Parsons has a pass rush grade of over 90, but he's given up a 101 QBR when targeted in coverage, so his Coverage grade stinks, dragging his overall down.  He also has the typical gaffes you see from rookie LB's in run support.  However, compared to what most rookie LB's do, he's been an absolute monster by comparison.
