Parsons Predicts Pickens for 16 TDs | NFL News

0:00September 2nd. This is NFL News Today, your AI-powered source for everything NFL. Micah Parsons, who recently switched from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers, is still talking about his old squad. He's been making some bold predictions for the upcoming NFL season, and it sounds like he's got a lot of respect for his former teammates, especially. Why to Receiver George Pickens? Parsons is currently recovering from an injury, but he's aiming to be back on the field for that week's sixth game against the Cowboys in Green Bay. Parsons believes Pickens has the potential to be the best receiver in the league this year. He's predicting Pickens will score at least 15 or 16 touchdowns, calling him the greatest red zone thread out there. Parsons also thinks Pickens could wreck up at least 1,800 receiving yards. Last season, George Pickens put up over 1,400 yards and 9 touchdowns. So, while he had a strong year, he'll need to step it up significantly to hit those numbers. Parsons is forecasting.

1:00It's worth noting that no player reached 1,800 receiving yards in the regular season last year, though Jackson Smith and Jigba came pretty close. Despite the high expectations and the challenge of reaching these predictions, there's a lot of confidence around in the Cowboys this year. Quarterback Dak Prescott himself feels they have the best offense in the league, and that kind of belief can definitely fuel a team's performance. It's interesting to hear Parsons, now on the other side, still giving props to his former team and specifically highlighting Pickens' talent. We'll have to wait and see if these predictions hold up when the season kicks off and especially when the Packers and Cowboys face off later in the year.
