CBS Sports play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz joined Nate Burleson of CBS Mornings on Friday to discuss a variety of football topics, including Dallas linebacker Micah Parsons.
Nantz was on the call for the Cowboys’ 30–10 win over the Jets in Week 2, in which Parsons put on another stellar early-season performance.
“They have Micah Parsons, who as we saw on Sunday, he could make a play this year not only as the Defensive Player of the Year, but maybe the Most Valuable Player,” Nantz said. “That’s what he wants. It sounds sacrilegious to say it, but he’s a Lawrence Taylor type of player. He’s not there yet, but he has the potential to be that.”
