Micah Parsons was devastatingly dominant in college
Before the start of the 2020 season at Penn State, Parsons decided to skip his senior season and begin training for the 2021 NFL Draft. As a sophomore in college, the uber-talented linebacker was named a consensus All-American prospect.
He also became the first sophomore linebacker in Big Ten history to win the Butkus-Fitzgerald linebacker of the year award. The Pennsylvania native was named a finalist for the Butkus Award, given to the top linebacker in college football. His sophomore season, he racked up 109 total tackles, while racking up 14 tackles for loss, five sacks, and five pass breakups. He also had four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and four quarterback hurries.
His incredibly high levels of production drew plenty of attention from NFL scouts. Not only that, he blew away NFL scouts with his world-class speed for a player his size at his pro day. Tipping the scales at 6-foot-3, 246-pounds, Parsons ran a blazing 4.39-40 yard dash. Keep in mind, the record for a 40-yard dash by a linebacker at the NFL combine is 4.38 by Shaquiem Griffin in 2018.
