Cowboys rookie sensation Micah Parsons did not believe so. During his interview with Bleacher Report, the fastest man in the NFL was asked to rank his top 5 QBs. And his list was no less than bizarre.
Parsons started with Patrick Mahomes as numero uno, followed by Josh Allen. Halfway down the list, he realized Aaron Rodgers deserved the number one spot followed by the two young rivals. He then went on to rank Kyler Murray fourth and gave the fifth spot to Lamar Jackson and teammate Dak Prescott.
