Micah Parsons Forces Jason Kelce to Speak Out – When a Legend Must Acknowledge a Superstar!
Green Bay, Wisconsin – As the final whistle blew at State Farm Stadium, not only Packers fans but also NFL pundits had to admit: Micah Parsons had a perfect night. But what set the internet ablaze didn’t come from the press room—it came from an X account, where Jason Kelce, a seven-time Pro Bowl legend, couldn’t hold back his emotions.
“Micah Parsons is unreal… No penalties, no turnovers, and playing with incredible poise as the clock wound down. I’ve never seen a predator like that, truly a warrior on the field.”
A rare but weighty compliment, especially coming from someone who knows firsthand the devastation caused by top-tier pass rushers. In the thrilling 27–23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, Parsons turned himself into a true nightmare—3 sacks, 4 solo tackles, and relentless pressure that completely dismantled the Cardinals’ offense in the fourth quarter.
Since joining the Packers, Micah Parsons has brought the kind of energy Green Bay has long lacked—ferocity, speed, and the clutch mentality of a star who shines when it matters most. With 5.5 sacks in just 6 games, he’s becoming the centerpiece of the Packers’ defense—a weapon that has propelled them to a 4–1–1 record and solidified their status as a legitimate NFC contender.
Jason Kelce—who faced countless defensive monsters during his career—doesn’t dish out praise lightly. So, that brief tweet was not just a nod of approval but a sign that Parsons is being recognized as one of the NFL’s most dangerous defensive players today.
“Parsons didn’t just do it all game; he did it when it mattered most. Shout out to Brissett for playing his ass off!” Kelce added, as if to emphasize that Parsons’ performance turned the game into a battle of wills.
Now, the NFL is starting to view the Packers differently. They’re no longer just the team of Jordan Love or Josh Jacobs but a unit with a warrior ready to obliterate every opposing drive.
While Jason Kelce has left the gridiron behind, he can likely still feel the passion Parsons brings—the kind of emotion only those who’ve lived and fought on the front lines can truly understand. And perhaps, when a legend feels compelled to publicly acknowledge your talent, that’s when you know you’ve reached the realm of the greats.
Micah Parsons—from a “nightmare” in Dallas to the heartbeat of the Green Bay Packers’ defense—seems to be just beginning his journey.
1 Quiet Reason the Raiders' Offense Has Struggled This Season
The Las Vegas Raiders' offense has struggled this season for various reasons, mainly subpar play along the offensive line and at quarterback. However, the lack of playmakers at skill positions, for various reasons, have held the Raiders' offense back.
Raiders Rookies Must Improve
The Raiders invested a second-round pick into drafting Jack Bech, proving how much they believed in him before he ever put a Raiders jersey on. However, Bech must do his part and work through the growing pains only the Raiders' coaching staff knows about.
Bech and Dont'e Thornton were brought in to be two of those playmakers but have yet to make much of an impact. Bech's lack of playing time on an offense in desperate need of help at wide receiver speaks volumes about where Las Vegas' coaching staff believes he is developmentally.
“The more plays that we can log with the new guys, Jack [Bech] and Dont'e [Thornton Jr.], we can show them the things that they need to improve on and the things that they're not quite as sharp on. It helps them. And there's some pain in that too. There's some pain in there that we have to undergo. But it's how you do it,” Carroll said.
“By the time you get to the middle of the season, these guys should have things really cleaned up, and they should be ready to go and we can count on them and they can come through and not be error repeaters, you know? And that's what we're working hard at."
During the Bye Week, Raiders' Wide Receivers Coach Chris Beatty gave an update on the development of both of Las Vegas' wide receivers. If the Raiders can get Bech and Thornton up to speed quickly, it could alleviate some of the issues they are having on offense.
"Some ups and downs. We have got to be more consistent. Both of those guys are learning a lot. Theres good and bad in everything. First couple of games, Dont'e had an explosive play in every game," Beatty said.
"He has kind of fell back a little bit and some of the fundamentals, we have got to continue to build on. Same thing with Jack. They have done okay but there is a lot more out there. So, we will keep pushing them and getting the most out of them."
