Micah Parsons just gave Jayden Daniels some perfectly timed bulletin board material

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has a legitimate case as the slipperiest player in the NFL. His elusiveness is arguably second to none, combined with elite speed and featherlight feet that make him dangerously agile; forget about it. He's incredibly hard to take down because he's impossible to catch, though new Green Bay Packers superstar Micah Parsons ostensibly isn't impressed or fazed.

Parsons addressed the media on Tuesday ahead of the Week 2 Thursday Night Football clash between the Packers and Commanders. A reporter asked him about the threat Daniels presents with his legs and how it changes Green Bay's approach, if at all. The perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate expressed confidence that no one will beat him to the outside, not even Washington's franchise centerpiece.

Green Bay superstar Micah Parsons gives Jayden Daniels extra fuel heading into Commanders-Packers showdown

"We got horse engines now," Parsons declared. "I don't see nobody outrunning me from the edge and stuff, and you know, I played [Daniels] a bunch."

Moreover, Parsons said Daniels "knows it's different" whenever the two go toe-to-toe. When dashing for the perimeter, the latter often leaves opponents in the dust. However, the former suggests that's mostly a product of facing bigger, slower defensive ends, unlike him.

"He’s used to them [6-foot-5, 260-pound] D-ends," Parsons stated. "This thing [is] 245, 250, you know what I mean? That engine's a little bit different than them '80s."

While Parsons acknowledged that the Packers will only be able to contain Daniels' mobility so much, being selectively aggressive seemingly isn't an option. Yes, it's early in the season, but the sense of urgency heading into a primetime showdown that could have massive NFC playoff ramifications is palpable. The time may never come if the Packers sit and wait for the right moment to pounce on Washington's standout signal-caller.

"For me, I don’t think it’s just pick and choose," Parsons voiced. "I just gotta make sure I get vertical if I'm gonna take the inside move and make sure that he don’t outrun me to our pinpoint. We're gonna give up some five-yard runs, or [Daniels'] gonna get loose once or twice, but the thing is to make sure it's not consecutive."

For whatever it's worth, Parsons ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash at his Pro Day in 2021. Few humans move that fast, let alone at his size. Nevertheless, Daniels' quickness in a game setting is much different than beelining in spandex in a controlled environment.
