Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn offered an intriguing explanation on Saturday after he was asked to address star pass-rusher Micah Parsons’s comments on changing positions ahead of the 2023 season.
Parsons, a first-team All-Pro selection in each of his first two seasons, made headlines earlier this month after announcing he’s spent his offseason preparing to transition from linebacker to a full-time role as a defensive end. While Parsons appeared to be committed to the idea, Quinn dismissed the notion of changing the 23-year-old’s role before attempting to clarify his comments to reporters.
“He’s a pass-rushing linebacker,” Quinn said, via The Athletic. “If you ever need position changes, come to me. What I think he was probably trying to say is, ‘I’m really emphasizing some pass rush into my offseason.’”
