""Me and CeeDee Lamb used to say 1,000 yards is like the minimum," Parsons said of receiving yards. "So I feel like 10 sacks for the standard of player you are, that should be the minimum you should get. For me, mine was just always 10 sacks. I'm beating him right now. He was injured, though. I dealt with the same thing, so he has no excuse because we had the same high ankle [sprain], I'm still rooting for him to see what he does.""
""I wouldn't say it's like a feat where it's very easy or anything like that," Parsons said. "But you know, it's a standard of play.""
Micah Parsons reached double-digit sacks for the fifth straight season after recording two sacks in a 23-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He became the second player since sacks became official in 1982 to post double-digit sacks in each of his first five NFL seasons, behind only Reggie White, who began his career with nine straight such seasons. Parsons passed Dwight Freeney and Derrick Thomas, who each began with four straight 10-plus sack seasons. Parsons describes 10 sacks as a standard or "minimum" for an elite player and referenced conversations with teammate CeeDee Lamb about statistical benchmarks. Parsons was traded to Green Bay in August in a package that included first-round picks and Kenny Clark.
