Micah Parsons, a linebacker with the Dallas Cowboys, hopes to start the season strong on Sunday at Cleveland.
Parsons placed second and third in the voting for Defensive Player of the Year in his first three years with Dallas.
Over 40 sacks have been collected by him thus far in his career.
Parsons thinks he’s developing a football career that will enable him to become a formidable opponent.
“There’s the killer, the hitman, and the assassin. You know, the killer is sloppy. He’s gonna get caught. You know, he’s not very good at what he does, but he’s a killer. You know, he’s roaming the streets. You got the hitman. The hitman might not get caught. But you know who did it. You know he’s probably a little bit more clean. And the assassin, you probably don’t even know he’s there and you know he’s done it. So, each time, you really want to develop him. And you know, at this fourth-year mark for me, I think I’m ready to be an assassin,” he said.
Hopefully, more of Parsons’ assassination plot will be revealed to fans when the Cowboys play their season opener in Cleveland on Sunday afternoon.
