There is no one like the Dallas Cowboys’ who have long been known for their intimaidating defense. At the heart of it all is Micah Parsons, a defensive talent who, with his playmaking ability, has become one of the most feared defenders in the league. But it seems the Cowboys aren’t content with just having him dominate on one side of the ball. In a recent report, it seemed that the team is now exploring ways to unleash his talents on the offense.

Yes, in a surprising move at training camp, the Cowboys have been experimenting with Parsons as an offensive weapon.
The linebacker who terrorizes quarterbacks and shuts down opponents is now running routes and catching passes. The idea of Parsons lining up on offense might have seemed outlandish at first, but the early results are earning a lot of attraction already.

During practice, Parsons has showed a natural aptitude for offensive play. Naturally, the experiment has been a success so far, with Parsons impressing coaches and teammates alike with his versatility.
America’s Team has already struggled with the news of their inactivity in the season. However, with some action and planning, it seems the team might be looking to move their pieces around after all.
Meanwhile, this bold move by the Cowboys is still in its experimental phase, but if the success continues, we might just see Parsons take the field in a new role this season.

Regardless, Parsons has had his way recently, as the Cowboys were reportedly willing to exercise the fifth-year option just last month for him. But one thought that the two year association for Parsons would let the team see a new hope.
But as the contract situation remains in jeopardy, it is fun for fans to look at how they are at least getting it done on the field.
In the training camp, they are experimenting to an extent not expected from a Dallas side. It is only a glimmer of hope, but it is enough for the fans to go on a little longer.
