Been watching the Cowboys for 40 years and I think I always took for granted our legendary players.
Parsons looked so good his rookie year, people were throwing around the LT tag, which is not used lightly.
I wasn’t ready to go all in after his rookie season with so much disappointment lately and I was bothered by some of the social media and interview hype from him in the offseason. Was afraid we had another guy ready to put on the shades and bask in the Hollywood spotlight.
But folks — I think it’s official, we have the BEST defensive player in the NFL RIGHT NOW on our roster. 4 sacks his first 2 games his second season. As others have pointed out, his impressive pass rush stats are with far fewer attempts than the average Edge. He can run with anyone on the field. Physical skills are just freaky to watch. And his intensity this season off the field and pre-game has been great to watch. I can already see him becoming a leader. He makes so many players on this D better.
Enjoy this man while you can. For you young fans, someone like this does not come around often. I’m just glad that we drafted him.
