Cowboys' Micah Parsons Wants to Be Best Player in NFL: 'I Want to Be Feared'

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons has established a clear goal for the 2022 NFL season.

"This year, I know exactly who I need to be. The best player in the league," Parsons told reporters Thursday. "... I'm not talking about the best defensive player. I want to be, like, the greatest. That's the type of mindset I have and the confidence that I have."

The reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year added he understands there's a lot of work to do if he's going to reach that lofty status.

"I want to be the best," Parsons said.
