As offseason hope blooms among all 32 NFL teams, Cowboys star Micah Parsons spoke recently about why the 2023 campaign could finally be Dallas’s year, thanks to an elite defense he says has potential similar to one of the NFL’s greatest defensive units.
Speaking to reporters during OTAs, the third-year edge rusher pointed out the potential impact of Dallas returning 10 defensive starters and adding veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore and rookie defensive tackle Mazi Smith, the 26th pick in the 2023 draft.
In Parsons’s eyes, keeping a group together that ranked among the NFL’s best should be enough to get the job done, inspiring him to draw an interesting parallel to the vaunted 2000 Super Bowl-champion Ravens’ defense, led by Hall of Famer Ray Lewis.
