The NFL is in its seventh week of the “NFL Top 100.” This week, players 31-40 will be revealed. On Wednesday, the two players they revealed for Nos. 34-35 both will face the Arizona Cardinals. Both are on the same team.

Coming at No. 36 is Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons. He was No. 17 last year.

Multiple players gushed about his abilities.

Ravens tackle Ronnie Stanley said, “he’s in that top tier of athletic guys on the edge,” including him with players like Myles Garrett. “His first step when he bends the corner is pretty impressive.”

He rushes from anywhere. He is athletic and he plays with a high motor.

He has 52.5 career sacks through four seasons and has his eyes on at least 100. He has had no fewer than 12 sacks in a season, and that was last season when he played in only 13 games.

The Cardinals will play Parsons and the Cowboys on Monday night in Big D in Week 9. In two career games against the Cardinals, Parsons has just one sack. He does have three quarterback hits and three tackles for loss.
