ESPN's Domonique Foxworth: Micah Parsons is the best player in the NFL

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons is only 23 years old, just starting his second NFL season and has only played in 18 games as a pro (19 if you count the postseason). Despite this, the Penn State product already has quite the list of accolades to his credit with his 2021 AP Defensive Rookie of the Year Award, Pro Bowl honor and First Team All-Pro nod.

Parsons is off to another monster start this year. He currently leads the NFL in sacks (four) and tackles for loss (four). That's been enough for one ESPN analyst to already make quite a bold claim for the Harrisburg, Pa. native.

On ESPN's "First Take," Stephen A. Smith had high praise for Parsons as well.

Parsons and the rest of the Cowboys will take on the New York Giants on "Monday Night Football" in Week 3.
