Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons is trying to become a jack of all trades on the football field.last week that Parsons has tried to convince the coach to let him join special teams as a kickoff returner.
“You know Micah—He has lobbied me in the past to just be the primary kickoff returner,” Fassel said. “I’m like, ‘Micah, that’s a question you’ve got to go a little further up than me on that one.’ But would I love to see him back there? Absolutely, because he would be fantastic. He would catch it and he’d run wild and he’d probably get incredible yards. But that ain’t going to happen. I’m aware of that.
Fassel admitted that it'd be too risky to put the team's star pass rusher in this position, as he could easily be injured. He then offered an example of likely the only time Parsons would become a kickoff returner, but only as a secondary option. "Micah has asked about being a primary kickoff returner, that hasn’t been allowed yet, probably not going to be allowed unless you say, ‘Hey, in the game we’re down by six and there’s eight seconds left in the game and we got to score a touchdown and kickoff return to win it?’ Maybe we put Micah back there as a second returner," Fassel continued.
It doesn't sound like Parsons will get to live out his dream of being a kick returner, but Cowboys fans are likely fine with that.
