OXNARD, Calif. — The Cowboys' defense was vastly improved last year and a huge reason was then-rookie linebacker and edge rusher Micah Parsons.
Parsons is the reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year with a whopping 13 sacks and 84 tackles. The former Penn State Nittany Lion was an absolute steal for the Cowboys last year with the 12th pick despite being the highest graded defensive player and seemed like he had something to prove.
But Parsons says he doesn't feel the pressure by fans and media to be even better in year two. He says it will just come naturally with an even better grasp of Dan Quinn's scheme.
