Eagles opposing player to stop, Week 6 edition: Micah Parsons

In just two NFL seasons, Micah Parsons is already drawing comparisons to legendary linebacker Lawrence Taylor.

Parsons, who played for Harrisburg High School and Penn State, was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week this week after recording five tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble —with a groin injury—in the Cowboys’ 22-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday. Parsons has recorded two sacks in three of the first five weeks and earned his second NFC Defensive Player of the Week award, after winning the award in Week 8 of his 2021 rookie season.
