Micah Parsons wants Aaron Rodgers' jersey in his collection

Micah Parsons wants to add Aaron Rodgers' jersey to his collection this Sunday. 

"I would love a jersey from Aaron Rodgers. I'm a fan of him," Parsons said in a Wednesday news conference.   

The star outside linebacker will likely have several greetings with No.12 on Sunday. Although the Packers offensive line isn't horrid, injuries ravaged its anchor, left tackle David Bakhtiari.

Bakhtiari, a three-time Pro Bowler, has already missed three games due to knee injuries and is questionable after suffering another knee injury in Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions. 

Green Bay is 1-2 without their left tackle, and they've struggled to maintain a consistent rotation without him. They've used eight different configurations this season. As a result, Rodgers has been sacked 18 times in nine games, one of the higher rates in the league.

"The only consistency right now is inconsistency," said Packers offensive coordinator Adam Steneavich recently.

A matchup with Parsons doesn't bode well for Green Bay. He's tearing through offensive lines this season, recording eight sacks in eight games, the fifth-most in the NFL.

He'll have additional motivation Sunday since he's facing one of the league's best quarterbacks. 

"You talk about the best of the best, he's right up there with them," Parsons said. "I know he'll make me a better player."
