Mic'd-up Cowboys and Jets players were left in awe on the sidelines by Micah Parsons' dominant performance
Micah Parsons put on an incredible show some of the NFL's best players couldn't believe.
When it comes to ferocious pass rushers, they don’t get much better than Micah Parsons. A two-time First-Team All-Pro, the 24-year-old seems better than ever in his third season with the Dallas Cowboys. In just two games, Parsons has already amassed six quarterback hits, four tackles-for-loss, three sacks, and a forced fumble. This would put him on a blistering pace for roughly 50ish quarterback hits, approximately 33 tackles-for-loss, over 25 sacks, and nine forced fumbles.
Parsons will assuredly and likely reach none of these staggering, record-breaking numbers. But it does provide context on how utterly exceptional he’s been for the NFL’s top defense. His teammates and opponents are taking note.
A new video from Inside the NFL features a video of Parsons running circles around the New York Jets offensive line last Sunday. Sprinkled in between highlights from the radio broadcast, we can see players like a mic’d-up Stephon Gilmore and Quinnen Williams encourage and marvel at Parsons’ individual brilliance. They’re not the only ones:
"Rushing where he wants to rush from."
Everyone's taking notice of the level @MicahhParsons11's playing at

Look, if All-Pros and Defensive Player of the Year-caliber talents like Gilmore and Williams can’t believe what they’re watching, it’s clear Parsons is putting on a rare show. He’s the cornerstone of a vicious Dallas defense, and it doesn’t appear like he’ll slow down any time soon.
