Micah Parsons, Dallas Cowboy linebacker, feels enthusiastic about the upcoming season for him and teammate Trevon Diggs. Confident in both of their performances, he goes as far as comparing the duo to Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey. Parsons tells Jori Epstein of USA TODAY Sports that they “can become them or even better if we learn together and stick together.” Parsons was unanimously picked for NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year for the 2021 season.
Trevon Diggs Can Be Even Better:
Diggs’ 11 interceptions are not to be taken lightly. He exceeds that of any player in 40 years. Therefore, it’s probable that he will help the pair accomplish big things in 2022. There is the fact that Diggs has a missed tackle rate of 16.1%. However, according to Parsons, that won’t stop the two from matching up to Donald and Ramsey. Parsons tells Epstein:
As a football player, you have to learn to pick and choose your battles and what to gamble.” The gambling seems to be working in his favor. Parsons tells Epstein that Diggs “deserves to be named a top-five corner if not the best in the league.
Micah Parson’s Goal:
Parsons says to Cody Benjamin from CBS Sports that he has set goals for himself. They include a minimum of 15 sacks for 2022, eventually to hit the record of 23 sacks. He even challenges Diggs for a little friendly competition.
In Conclusion:
Will Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs be the dream team that’s needed to bring the Dallas Cowboys a successful season? It’s likely, but for the pair to be as successful as Parsons anticipates, the Cowboys must move towards victory as a team. Parsons and Diggs seem to be at just the beginning of a record-breaking career. Nevertheless, between Parson’s aggressive confidence and his excitement for his blitzing feature in Madden NFL23, it will be hard not to notice Parsons and Diggs in the upcoming season.
