Just weeks into his second NFL season, Cowboys do-it-all linebacker Micah Parsons has emerged as a defensive force in the league. The reigning Rookie of the Year and First-Team All-Pro has drawn his share of comparisons to perhaps the greatest defensive player in NFL history—Giants legend Lawrence Taylor—and after his recent performance against New York, he got plaudits from the Hall of Famer himself.
Monday night’s game was a relatively quiet one for Parsons in the stat book, with one total tackle and a pair of quarterback hits in the 23–16 Dallas win. Even so, he made a serious impression on Taylor, who took to Twitter Tuesday night to compliment the Cowboys standout.
“And that [Micah Parsons] is special…can’t wait to see everything you achieve young man. God bless 👊🏾,” Taylor tweeted.
