After Sunday’s clash between the Cowboys and the Buccaneers, it seems America’s team will have to wait for more to get the better of Tom Brady. However, there was an athlete on the opposition who impressed the veteran by sacking him twice in the game. Second-year linebacker Micah Parsons recently earned Brady’s respect for his explosive play.

In Week 1 of the 2022 season, Tom Brady not only crushed the Dak Prescott-led side but also reminded his haters that he is still worthy. Despite having a fragile offensive line, the Buccaneers came out victorious. Special shout out to the Defense, who added more strength to the side.

Well, the Cowboys were equally strong. It seems Jerry Jones’ faith in the youngsters has started showing results. Second-year linebacker Micah Parsons was the star of the game.

He penetrated the offensive line, knocking the mighty Brady twice in a single game. Meanwhile, he was the same opponent who praised the quarterback ahead of Week 1 by calling him an inspiration.

While speaking at the press conference, Brady mentioned Parsons and his on-field performance. When asked about the linebacker, Brady said, “I think, he’s so long, strong, explosive, athletic you know he gets on edges. He’s a dynamic pass rusher. He got to me once or twice, yeah twice.”

“He’s tough. We just didn’t execute very well. He made some good plays.” Last season he paced the Cowboys’ defense attack with 13 sacks, and this time he is chasing the NFL’s single-season sack record.

Micah Parsons hails Tom Brady and his competitiveness

Recently, Micah Parsons spoke about his admiration for Tom Brady after getting inspired by his fierce attitude. Like Kobe Bryant’s Mamba mentality and Michael Jordan’s grit, Brady is tough, according to Parsons.

“He has that fire inside of him. He looks to kill you. He wants to step on your throat like you’re a roach. That’s why, if you are a real competitor, you look up to Tom Brady,” he said to the reporters.

Well, it turns out that Parsons is equally competitive. Recently, a video of him being manhandled by running back Leonard Fournette went viral across social media.

In reality, the linebacker was focused on taking down Brady. However, he got blindsided and got knocked down by Leonard Fournette, which later circulated as a troll. “You hit someone not looking you straight pus**y!! Stop hyping this weak as sh*t it’s football!!” He wrote on Twitter. Hopefully, this kind of banter continues, and fans get to watch an exciting season ahead.
