Dallas Cowboys outside linebacker Micah Parsons celebrates his sack of Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr in overtime at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, November 25, 2021. The Cowboys lost in overtime to the Raiders, 36-33.As a rookie Micah Parsons took no time at all to establish himself as the NFL’s newest breakout star and one of the better linebackers in the league.
The 23-year-old set a Cowboys rookie record with 13 sacks to go along with 20 tackles for loss, three pass deflections and three forced fumbles. He did all of this damage in the backfield with limited snaps as a pass rusher. His ability as a pass rusher wasn’t the only way he stood out. Dajani had this to say about Parsons’ other abilities:
While Parsons proved to be a stud pass-rusher, some had questions about his coverage ability coming into the league. Parsons actually finished No. 12 among linebackers in 2021 with a PFF coverage grade of 70 in 295 coverage snaps. If you go back and watch him play throughout his rookie season, you’ll not only see a talented pass-rusher, but a good linebacker that can read and react quickly. A defender who can blow up screen plays and make takedowns in the open field.⭐️ 93.
