Dallas Cowboys rookie linebacker Micah Parsons has made a bold claim that playing in the NFL was not as hard as the players claimed it to be.
The rookie recently added two more sacks during his sixth consecutive game with a sack when Dallas defeated the Washington Football Team 27-20 on Sunday. In addition to that, he also recorded a forced fumble.
“I don’t really think the NFL is hard,” Parsons said after the game. “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.”
Cowboys drafted Parsons with the 12th overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft. His current sack streak is the second-longest ever by a rookie. His total sacks of 12 this year are just 2.5 shy of the rookie record set in 1999 by Jevon Kearse.

This is the part where r/nfl starts to hate him
He's not making it look terribly difficult.
>“Yeah, for sure,” he said. “I don’t really think the NFL is hard. 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.” There's the full quote. Looks like he's just trying to talk up his teammates rather than sound conceited
I like this kid, but this will without a doubt be used against him lol
Lets see you speedrun it then Micah smh
Micah Parsons claims the NFL isn't hard, yet he still hasn't won a Super Bowl, curious.
Oh no bby
Well he had a nice start. I can already see the posts the next couple years of "since Parsons said he doesn't think the NFL is hard he has [small number of sacks]"
My dad is just starting to get into football, I was talking up Parsons so much as we were watching the game, explaining to him how he lines up on the line way more often than in college and blah blah blah. Mid explanation he gets that strip sack and I’m like “see, told you he was good” haha.
Can the old heads provide some context as to how he compares to LT’s rookie season? I see lots of split opinions on this sub. Some say it’s absolute blasphemy to compare them, while others say parsons and LT’s rookie seasons are comparable.
