26YO Micah Parsons All Set to Take On “The Great Aaron Rodgers” After Giants’ 40–0 Obliteration

NFL star Micah Parsons has set his sights on Aaron Rodgers. The Dallas Cowboys‘ two-time All-Pro proved his mettle during his performance against the New York Giants in the 2023 season opener. Parsons played a pivotal role in the Cowboys’ resounding 40-0 victory at MetLife Stadium and is now eagerly anticipating his next challenge.

As a showdown with none other than the legendary A-Rod and the revitalized New York Jets awaits, the 24-year-old discussed his team’s Week 2 home opener against the Jets. Parsons expressed unwavering belief in his team’s ability to dominate in Week 1, leaving no room for doubt about his enthusiasm for the upcoming Jets clash.

Micah Parsons’ confidence is sky high ahead of A-Rod clash

During the offseason, Parsons made headlines with some social media banter directed at the Jets QB Zach Wilson amidst swirling rumors of the team’s pursuit of the ex-Packers QB. Last night, the third-year standout made it clear that he’s here to make a statement, boldly declaring: “We’re the best defense in the National Football League.” With unwavering determination, he added, “I feel good, and I get to go against the great Aaron Rodgers next week.”

This isn’t the first time Parsons has expressed his admiration for Rodgers. Last season, the 6′ 3″ star openly acknowledged Rodgers as an idol and a figure to look up to in the league, “He’s [Rodgers] an idol and figure in this (last year) league that you look up to. I look up to him,” while also revealing a personal goal of sacking the former Packers star.

Hype on for Rodgers vs. Parsons

The anticipation for the upcoming matchup (Jets vs. Cowboys) has also spilled over into the media. ESPN’s Ryan Clark, on the ‘First Take’ show, issued a challenge to Aaron Rodgers, emphasizing the importance of starting the season 1-0, especially with the impending visit to Dallas.

Clark remarked, “It would be nice to have found some protection for Aaron Rodgers, so I know somebody’s going to be able to block number 11 (Micah Parsons) next week in Dallas.”

Parsons continues to receive praise for his on-field excellence, particularly his ability to disrupt opposing QBs. As such, it is imperative for the Jets to ensure that Aaron Rodgers enjoys ample protection on the field.
