Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence will compete to be the sack king of Dallas
The Dallas Cowboys have two of the best pass rushers in the NFL, and Micah Parsons erupted on the scene last year winning rookie of the year, and his teammate was upset he let a rookie beat him.
Defensive end Demarcus Lawrence declared he wanted to take back the designation of Cowboys sack leader from linebacker Micah Parsons saying he “let a rookie show me up last year.”
Parsons is all about the competition, he wants Lawrence to come and get it.
“It makes me want to compete,” Parsons said of Lawrence’s comments, per Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News. “It’s healthy for the locker room. I want D-Law to step up. I want D-Law to be who he is. I’m not taking that away from him. But sorry to tell him, he’s never getting that back. I want him to get all the enjoyment that he possibly can, feed his head so he can be a 10-sack guy, great. But if 10’s the number, I’m going for 20. You’ve just got to go out there and compete. It’s just going to be a race to the quarterback, like it or not. I’m excited.”
Lawrence has only netted more than eight sacks just twice in his career. His high was 14.5 sacks back in 2017. I love a healthy competition, but who do you think will win this competition?
