"Organizations pray that they'll land someone as impactful in the draft as Parsons. Even while missing four games last season with a high ankle sprain, the Penn State product became the second player in NFL history to rack up 12 or more sacks in each of his first four seasons. The only other player to do that is another player that Packers fans came to love: Reggie White."
"The Packers hope Parsons becomes the third in a series of defensive stars who were underappreciated by their prior teams before joining Green Bay and firmly established himself as a no-doubt Hall of Famer. White and Charles Woodson, Parsons' predecessors in that designated role, joined as free agents later in their careers after they had turned 30. Parsons just turned 26. This is a player entering his prime."
The Dallas Cowboys traded star edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. Dallas pursued the idea publicly for months before completing the trade. Parsons missed four games last season with a high ankle sprain but still recorded at least 12 sacks in each of his first four seasons, becoming the second player in NFL history to do so, after Reggie White. The Packers seek to make Parsons the latest defensive star revitalized in Green Bay alongside predecessors Reggie White and Charles Woodson. Parsons is 26 and entering his prime.
