Will Parsons be a Hybrid LB/DE?

It will be interesting seeing how Zimmer will use Parsons. Will he play a mixture of LB and DE or stay as a DE.
He obviously wears down by the end of the season playing DE. He's just not built physically to sustain the pounding at the DE position.
I imagine he will use him more as a LB and have him rush from that position more than on the edge and unleash him on 3rd down passing situations.
I worry that Micah will want to stay at DE due to the higher pay for that position.
Very likely. He has enough gas in his tank and his playing ability is electric.

13 sacks as a rookie while playing more snaps at LB than at DE.

He only started 4 games at DE that season...
And it’s increased on the DL each year…and he just led the NFL in pressures.

He’s a pass rusher.

Run down LBer more often than not. Passing down pass rusher - not just off the edge but move him around the DL and even blitz him a little

13.5 sacks in year 2 with 17 starts at DE.

14 sacks in year 3 with 17 starts at DE.

0.5 and 1 additional sack with 13 additional starts at DE.
