3 years agoDallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (knee) said he played all of his outstanding rookie year with a knee injury that he suffered in training camp. It didn't seem to slow him down, as he had 13 sacks, 20 tackles for loss and 30 QB hits in 16 starts on his way to winning Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. Parsons said he hyperextended his knee during a training camp practice on Aug. 7. Medication helped him play through the injury, but he dealt with significant pain after games. The 22-year-old also finished with 84 tackles in his first NFL season, and he was a big reason why Dallas' defense was much improved in 2021. Parsons will be highly coveted in IDP leagues heading into the 2022 season.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
