Cowboys star Micah Parsons is already drawing comparisons to Lawrence Taylor, and even L.T.'s peers tend to agree. 'He's his own unicorn.'
"But this guy is everywhere," Johnston said."He's on the left side. He's on the right side. He'll walk up over center. He'll drop down to the linebacker level."
"I'm not so sure if he lost a few pounds maybe he could be the best corner in football for all I know." "He is an ‘80s-’90s linebacker," Banks said."He's from the era of the linebacker. He fits in there because he can do so much. He's not just a pass rusher. He would probably be an all-pro inside linebacker if they chose just to leave him there."Of course, it's one thing to fit in with Taylor, Banks, Hall of Famer Harry Carson and the other great Giants linebackers from that era. It's another thing to rise to the L.T.
He may be on his way to doing that, though. Parsons clearly has the athletic ability and the remarkable instincts. He's also shown a work ethic and desire to get better. Last May he even convinced former Pro Bowl offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth to join him in Austin, Texas, for a week of training and film study, so he could get a better feel for how great tackles play against him.
Is that enough to really get him to L.T.'s level — not just a Hall of Famer, but one who deserves his own room in the museum? That almost certainly depends on how well he's able to sustain his greatness and his game-wrecking ability over the next 5-to-10 years. And it won't be easy, because NFL offensive coordinators are clearly doing whatever they can to avoid him and make him a non-factor.
