FRISCO - If only Micah Parsons was paid by the syllable instead of the sack.

*Predicted - in front of Washington Commanders' star quarterback Jayden Daniels - that the Cowboys would "win the NFC" in 2025.

*Openly recruited disgruntled Cleveland Browns pass-rusher Myles Garrett to join the Cowboys.
*Threatened to join the Kansas City Chiefs if he doesn't win a Super Bowl with the Cowboys by age 30.

Oregon's Tez Johnson led the Ducks in catches, receiving yards and touchdowns last season despite missing two games with a shoulder injury. He was named MVP of the Big Ten Championship Game after he caught 11 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown in Oregon's 45-37 win over Penn State.
But at last week's Scouting Combine he disappointed NFL observers by running the 40-yard dash in 4.51 seconds, 29th out of 39 receivers. He also weighed only 154 pounds, lightest of any receiver in Indianapolis.
Some NFL Draft analysts said Johnson was among the Combine's biggest "losers."

Parsons is almost impossible to block. Turns out he's even more difficult to mute.
