The start of a new football season is rapidly approaching, which means training camps will be opening up soon enough. And while Penn State is gearing up for what they hope will be a big rebound season, former Nittany Lions linebacker Micah Parsons is preparing for his rookie season in the NFL. And the HBO spotlight is expected to be on him during this season’s edition of Hard Knocks.
Dallas-based sportswriter and radio personality Matt Moseley recently joined Colin Cowherd on FOX Sports Radio to break down some of the expectations for the Dallas Cowboys. During the interview, Mosley mentioned how much hype is being placed on Parsons already, and he went so far as to suggest Parsons could be one of the main themes of Hard Knocks.
“Parsons at linebacker, that will be your Hard Knocks storyline,” Mosley said. “Basically, this kid’s already basically going to be the whole star of that show.”
Parsons being a flashy first-round draft pick of one of the world’s most famous franchises is perfect fodder for an inside look at training camp, so it’s not too surprising to hear Mosley suggest this about Parsons and Hard Knocks. The return of quarterback Dak Prescott likely will be a main storyline as well for Hard Knocks, but Parsons is already set to be one of the true stars of the franchise.
