Parsons' Take on All-Pro Selections and His Stellar Season
Micah Parsons, the standout edge-rusher for the Green Bay Packers, has once again made it to the NFL's All-Pro team. This is his fourth time being recognized, even though he missed a few games due to an ACL injury.
The "All-Purpose" Debate
Some argue that the "all-purpose" position on the All-Pro ballot isn't necessary, but Parsons disagrees. He believes that with so many talented players in the league, some might not get the recognition they deserve.
Impressive Stats in a Shortened Season
Parsons had an impressive season, recording:
- 26 quarterback hits
- 12.5 sacks
- 2 forced fumbles
in just 14 games.
A Blockbuster Trade
He was traded to the Packers last August in a deal that included:
- Two first-round draft picks
- Defensive tackle Kenny Clark
Not Just Parsons: Xavier McKinney Shines
Parsons isn't the only Packer making waves. Safety Xavier McKinney also earned All-Pro honors, securing a spot on the second team.
Injury Sidelines Parsons
While Parsons will be watching from the sidelines due to his injury, McKinney will be in action against the Chicago Bears in the playoffs.
A History of Intense Matchups
The Packers and Bears have a history of close games. In their last meeting, the Packers were leading but ended up losing in overtime. This upcoming game is sure to be another intense matchup.
