Micah Parsons is just 13 games into his professional career and is already one of the most dominant players in the entire league.
The Dallas Cowboys linebacker also has a scary message regarding his play on the field.
“I don’t really think the NFL is hard,” Parsons said, per Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated.
The rookie has 12 sacks on the year, including at least one in six straight games, plus 75 tackles. That is just completely insane. His play not only has him up for a Defensive Rookie of the Year award, but also a contender for Defensive Player of the Year.
Parsons explained how going against his teammates has helped make a quick transition to the NFL:
“I think they got some really great players around here. But I just think it’s a bunch of players that work really hard, and I think it rubs off whenever you play guys like La’el [Collins in practice]. When I’m going against La’el and I’m challenging him every down, saying, ‘What could I do there? How can I make this better?’ Or I’m going against Zack [Martin], and I’m just getting those opportunities, it really just makes those guys [on other teams] not look as good.”

The Dallas defense is certainly carrying a load as they have eight forced turnovers over the past two games combined.
The Boys have a three-game division lead with four games to go after improving their record to 9-4.
