Micah Parsons Continues Bashing Steelers’ T.J. Watt
Pittsburgh Superstar T.J. Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers lost out on winning the Defensive Player of the Year Award in spite of leading the NFL in sacks and outperforming Myles Garrett in almost all statistical categories.
Since then, Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys, one of the candidates, has stated that he doesn’t think Watt ought to have one.
He is now going to double down on his tirade against the Steelers edge rusher, claiming that Watt isn’t among the top five pass rushers in the entire league.
Parsons told CBS Radio, “I think I’m probably the best pure speed pass rusher.”
If you’re talking about defensive ends, I’d say I was the greatest this year based on my win percentage.
However, if you’re talking about pure pass rushers, then run and everything else.
That would be me, then. I would then mention Myles, Maxx, Nick Bosa, and finally, I would say,
“Look at the stats.” The numbers are real. Though I believe Alex Highsmith may have had a higher pass rush victory percentage, he was either fifth or sixth.
If you want to get super statistical, he had a greater double team rate than T.J. Watt.
This isn’t my stuff, you know. I’m not only pulling it out of my ass.”
In any case, Parsons is not incorrect. According to Pro Football Focus, Watt had a pass rush victory percentage of 16.9%, while Alex Highsmith had an 18% finish.
Even yet, Watt’s season was noteworthy for those examining the box chart’s numbers, as he set a record by leading the league in sacks for the third time at the end of the campaign.
