Parsons has been linked to Sean Lee for more reasons than their shared Penn State lineage.
Throw in health concerns surrounding former first-rounder Leighton Vander Esch, who has missed a total of 13 games over the last two seasons, and suddenly the Cowboys’ once highly-touted linebacker corps could be in need of an injection of talent.
That’s where Penn State’s Micah Parsons fits in. The young linebacker could very well be the first defensive player taken off the board in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft in April. And with the Cowboys owning the 10th overall selection, Parsons is certainly on their radar.
