Jack Crawford Jersey wagers could pay off if he continues to be an absolute game-wrecker. Entering Week 3, Parsons leads the in sacks (4.0), pre sures (13) and is second in pre sure rate (22%).

Parsons is lining up as an outside linebacker on 79% of his snaps this year, up from 39% last year.He is also getting better. He's pre suring the quarterback in roughly two seconds on average (2.01), the fastest among the top 40 players in pre sures this year, and significantly better than his mark last year (2.36). If you look at the seven players with 10 pre sures this season, there's a stark difference between Parson's time to pre sure (2.01) and the rest of the group's (2.46). That half-second is an eternity if you're a quarterback. He also has more pre sures in under two seconds (5) than 17 entire teams.Player/TeamPre suresTime to pre sureMicah Parsons, Cowboys132.01Myles Garrett, 132.28 , 112.25 , 112.38 , Bucs102

Dallas also held two high-powered offenses ( and ) to roughly 10 points below their 2021 season average, and escaped with a win against Cincinnati without .That's just the tip of the iceberg when talking about Parsons' skill set, though. According to ESPN metrics powered by NFL Next Gen Stats, Parsons beats his block on nearly 60% of his pa s rushes this season, . Think about that. If the most fundamental part about pa s rushing is beating the offensive lineman, it's absurd that he's doing it well beyond half the time.

Seth Walder (@SethWalder) Parsons will take his show on the road in Week 3 on the big stage of "Monday Night Football" in front of an all-time great he's often compared with. Lawrence Taylor told the New York Post: "I'm quite sure I'm gonna see what he's got on Monday night 'cause I
Arizona Cardinals Hats will be there," LT said. "I haven't analyzed it. But I will on Monday."It could be quite a performance. He faces a offensive line that's allowed the highest pre sure rate in the NFL (49%) this year. While LT is Pro Football Focus' highest-graded offensive tackle in the league, rookie RT ranks 65th among 66 players. The Cowboys have been moving Parsons around, so expect them to find the right matchup. He has 38 snaps at right OLB this season and 55 at left OLB.Giants head coach Brian Daboll knows how much of a threat he is. "He's a problem," Daboll said. "He's a dynamic football player. He can play multiple spots, he does. You see him at linebacker, you see him at defensive end. He has rare pa s-rush ability, and we're gonna have a good plan for him. He's fun to
Rashard Lawrence Jersey watch when you're not getting ready to play him. We have to obviously know where he's at."Beyond Week 3, brace yourselves for a historic season. Parsons already has the most sacks by any player through 18 career games, and he's getting better.Micah Parsons17.0 16.5 16.0Jevon Kearse16.0 16.0If he keeps it up, he'll be getting more than comparisons to LT. With a Defensive Player of the Year award in his sights, he can join Taylor (1981-82) and former star (2012-13) as the only players in NFL history to win Defensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in their first two seasons. Taylor won both awards as a rookie and added a second DPOY honor in his second season.It's only two games into the year and 18 into his career. As Taylor's Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells would say, "put away the anointing oil."I gue s I'll keep it on standby.
