New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (8) scrambles away from Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (11) during the fourth quarter of an NFL football game on Monday, Sept. 26, 2022, in East Rutherford, N.J.(Smiley N. Pool \/ Staff Photographer)<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long for Micah Parsons to become a dominant force for the Cowboys\u2019 defense, spearheading a speedy unit that has shown a knack to take over games when called upon.<\/p>\n
Parsons\u2019 immediate impact in the NFL quickly drew comparisons to one of the league\u2019s greatest defensive players of all time in Lawrence Taylor. Although it\u2019s still early in Parsons\u2019 career, many believe that the young linebacker can follow in Taylor\u2019s footsteps.<\/p>\n
Taylor took to Twitter on Tuesday to show praise for the Cowboys\u2019 playmaker after his impactful showing in a 23-16 victory over the Giants. Parsons didn\u2019t record any sacks in New York on Monday, but his presence still opened the door for DeMarcus Lawrence and others to succeed against the Giants\u2019 offensive line.<\/p>\n

Taylor\u2019s storied NFL career saw him record 132.5 sacks while receiving 10 Pro Bowl nods and nine All-Pro selections.<\/p>\n
He was in attendance for the Cowboys\u2019 matchup with the Giants and offered a challenge for Parsons to aim for the same heights.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s playing pretty well, let\u2019s see if he can keep it up for dag-on 13 years,\u201d Taylor said.<\/em><\/p>\n Back in the 2021 season, Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells declined to comment on comparisons between Parsons and Taylor. Parsons currently leads the Cowboys with four sacks and will look to stay on a dominant path while receiving extra attention from opposing offensive lines.<\/p>\n Before the Cowboys opened their season against Tampa Bay, Parsons made his goal for the campaign well-known.<\/p>\n \u201cThe best player in the league,\u2019\u2019 Parsons said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be anything short of No. 1.<\/p>\n \u201cThat is the type of confidence I have. I want to be the best.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (8) scrambles away from Dallas Cowboys linebacker… New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (8) scrambles away from Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":35553,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35552","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"\n
