The Green Bay Packers made the biggest move in the NFL this offseason.
Just before the start of the regular season, they traded for Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons.
While his numbers weren’t impressive early, his impact on and off the field has been notable.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love recently shared his thoughts on what it’s like to have Parsons on his side.
“I can’t state enough how fun it is just to have him on this team and how much of a playmaker he is. Big situations like that, having three sacks on the day is big time. You can’t say enough about how much of a playmaker he is, everybody on that defense. [Rashan Gary] doing his thing, other guys making big-time plays. We’re just finding ways to be as complementary as possible and keep stacking. It never gets old winning,” Love said.
Jordan Love says “it’s amazing” having Micah Parsons completely wreck games on the other side of the ball.

Parsons had his first signature game with the Packers in Week 7.
He posted a career-best three sacks in the win against the Arizona Cardinals, and they needed every one of those stops to get the job done in a game that was much closer than most people anticipated.
Parsons’ impact goes beyond what meets the eye.
He’s constantly drawing double teams, and that opens the door for everybody around him to make plays.
His positional versatility, power and athleticism make him one of the hardest players to game plan against, and he’s one of the few true game-changers on defense in today’s offense-driven era.
Parsons rarely gets any sympathy from the officials, but he arguably gets held on almost every snap.
It took him a little longer than expected, but now that he’s had enough time to get settled in with Green Bay, the best is yet to come for the All-Pro.
