After two All-Pro seasons to begin his NFL career, Micah Parsons is hungry for more in 2023.
On Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys linebacker-turned-defensive end provided a preview of what to expect from him this year.
“We’re doing a lot of special things. I don’t want to give a lot away right now, but it’s going to be a really cool year,” Parsons said, via Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News. “I’m probably going to play like eight positions this year. Don’t even ask me [which ones].”
