Cowboys 2021 rookie report: Micah Parsons saves the day after position switch

Most teams’ rookie classes are headlined by their first pick, and that’s certainly looking to be the trend for this year’s Cowboys. Micah Parsons obviously has the trust of Dan Quinn; the rookie wore the green dot on his helmet in his NFL debut against Tom Brady, and a week later he was taking the majority of his snaps as an edge rusher in an attempt to replace the injured DeMarcus Lawrence.

That Parsons handled the task as well as he did is a testament to how good of a pick he’s already looking to be. But he wasn’t the only one as the Cowboys got some good performances out of their other rookies in Sunday’s thrilling win over the Chargers.
