The offseason has ushered in a long-drawn football draught. Because of the lack of on-field action, the interest in draft proceedings is evident. Young stars are on their way to proving their value. However, Parsons’ comments on one particular draft hopeful aren’t encouraging to say the least. So, what did the Cowboys star say?
Micah Parsons did not hold back
Lukas Van Ness is an interesting draft prospect who has been receiving attention for some of his physical traits. Strength and physicality are key aspects while scouting for a DE and Van Ness is certainly showing those signs given his size. At 6’5, the Iowa star is hoping to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. However, being on the receiving end of not-so-positive comments from one of the biggest defensive stars in the NFL may not have been on his agenda.
NFL Rookie Watch on Twitter posted a video of one of Van Ness’ drills, stating that the DE was “taking these bags out like they’re NOTHING.”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 brooooo it’s bags 😂😂 I’ve seen kids in middle school do this !! Media is a scary place
