The young punks showed up in the first two weeks of the new NFL season. This year's batch of rookies has been truly impressive, displaying composure and confidence against more seasoned opponents. But for a three-time Super Bowl champion, one only newcomer has been head and shoulders above the field: Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons.

Sorry, Mac Jones, Trevor Lawrence, Ja'Marr Chase, and Justin Fields.

According to a report by TMZ, NFL Network analyst Michael Irving proclaimed that Parsons is the best rookie so far this year. The five-time Pro Bowler made his bold claim after Parsons led the Cowboys to an astounding 20-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers last Sunday.
