Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons has shown shades of legendary pass-rusher Lawrence Taylor, according to New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
. “He’s got a lot of power. He’s very fast. He’s long. He’s very athletic so he’s a hard guy to cut . He’s a hard guy to knock off the ball. And he plays all over. So finding him, that’s No. 1. He could be inside. He could be outside. He could be on either edge. He’s a big, physical player that’s very athletic and quick. Along the lines of a Taylor. That kind of athlete.”
Belichick always shows opponents the respect they deserve, but considering how averse he normally is to making Taylor comparisons, this one feels different."I wouldn't put anybody ahead of Lawrence Taylor," he said,"period." With how dominant Parsons has been, though, it's hard to argue with Belichick's assessment. The Cowboys star has had at least 13 sacks in each of his first two seasons, and he has been an All-Pro selection both times as well. Parsons is off to another terrific start this season, as he has four sacks through three games and is currently the betting favorite for Defensive Player of the Year.
