Highlights:

There are many reasons the Cowboys’ defense has now become a reason for optimism heading toward the postseason. A coordinator change to Dan Quinn helped a lot. Trevon Diggs became a Pro Bowl-level corner in his second season. But no rookie, on offense or defense, has made a bigger impact than Micah Parsons. 

Parsons doesn’t look like a rookie. He looks like an All-Pro. He had a play that took care of the Washington Football Team and virtually clinched the NFC East on Sunday.

PFF:

The Dallas Cowboys and their ravenous fan base certainly expected 2021 first-round draft pick Micah Parsons to make an impact in his rookie season.

After all, you typically don’t take a “project” player with the No. 10 overall selection if you’re a team that currently has winning aspirations, and that was the case for Dallas after a very disappointing 2020 campaign.

Even though Parsons had missed the whole 2020 campaign, opting out amid the COVID-19 pandemic, he spent that time preparing for the 2021 Draft.
