Micah Parsons took the NFL by storm in 2021. He was named an All-Pro, won several individual awards, and was the main reason for the major shift in the Cowboys defense from the atrocity it was in 2020. After such an impressive first season, the expectations for Parsons are through the roof heading into 2022.

One way he can keep up his dominance is to be the Swiss Army knife he was as a rookie. When Parsons attended the unveiling of a WWE mural in Dallas for WrestleMania 38 on Thursday, he talked about wanting to make an impact regardless of what position he plays.

"I'm going to go wherever my team needs me to be," Parsons said. "If Q needs me rushing, I'm going to be a rusher. If he needs me to play linebacker, I'm going to play linebacker. I feel like it shouldn't matter. If you're going to be great, if you're going to dominate, you're going to do it no matter what."

Parsons was all over the field for the Cowboys last season. In addition to his snaps at linebacker and defensive end, Parsons also lined up at cornerback and safety, as well. That's uncanny versatility and certainly proves that he's more than just the off-the-ball linebacker that many labeled him as last year.

That type of position flex allowed Parsons to put up some gaudy numbers. He finished with 84 tackles (20 tackles for loss), 13 sacks, 30 quarterback hits, three forced fumbles, and three passes defended. During the final two months of the season, he recorded a sack in seven out of eight games. Including a streak of six consecutive games with at least one sack.

It sounds like Parsons has this NFL thing down right? Not according to him. Last month, he talked about how he can reach an even higher plateau with his play.

“Bro, I can get better everywhere,” Parsons said. “I can become a better pass-rusher. I can become a better linebacker. Like, anything. I just feel like I’m just out there raw and I was just learning and I grew and I kept getting better and better throughout the year. No one’s ever perfect. There’s always room to grow in many ways to get better.”

The Cowboys showed a lot of improvement in 2021 and posted a 12-5 record which earned them the NFC's No. 4 seed in the playoffs. However, Dallas lost to the San Francisco 49ers at home, continuing almost 30 years of unfulfilled postseason glory.

Dallas is expected to win the NFC East again this upcoming season. While that guarantees a playoff spot, the Cowboys have five Lombardi trophies at their facility. That's what it's about: winning championships. And fortunately for Dallas, Parsons has tunnel vision when it comes to making that happen for the Cowboys.

"My main goal is to focus on the main thing, getting to the Super Bowl and giving these Cowboys fans what they've been waiting for all these years," Parsons said Thursday.

Only time will tell if the Cowboys will win their sixth Super Bowl anytime soon. If it does happen, Parsons and his diverse skill set will be a major reason why.
