Micah Parsons earns higher pay than Myles Garrett. The undefeated Packers prepare to clash with the Browns.
The NFL season is heating up, and this Sunday, two standout players will go head-to-head as the Green Bay Packers visit the Cleveland Browns. Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett, both off to stellar starts this season, are set to meet on the field for the first time.
Micah Parsons, the Packers' latest acquisition, is tying up the fifth spot in pressures with 11, despite being on a snap limit in the first two games following his absence during training camp. His teammate, quarterback Jordan Love, remains unscathed, having not been sacked yet this season.
On the other side, Myles Garrett, tied for fifth in quarterback hits with five, is tied for the league lead in sacks with New Orleans' Carl Granderson, boasting an impressive 3 ½ sacks so far. Garrett, a Cleveland stalwart, needs just 2 ½ more sacks to surpass Reggie White for the most sacks by a player before turning 30.
The duo's connection extends beyond the football field. They worked out together this offseason, with their sessions being competitive and surpassing those at Penn State. Garrett and Parsons have also exchanged texts throughout the week, hinting at a camaraderie that transcends their rivalry.
Parsons, when asked about Garrett, praised him, saying he wouldn't hesitate to say Garrett is one of the better players and has offered mentorship. Meanwhile, Garrett, who demanded a trade before repairing his relationship with the Browns, has amassed an NFL-best 63 ½ sacks since entering the league.
The Browns' offense has struggled this season, losing their first two games for the first time in eight years. However, this Sunday, they'll be hosting Parsons and the Packers, who are looking to go 3-0 for the first time since 2020.
Parsons, who signed a four-year deal with the Packers, averaging $47 million per year, has asked for two tickets for family to attend the game. This will mark the first time Parsons goes against veteran Joe Flacco, adding another layer of intrigue to the highly anticipated matchup.
As the two teams prepare to face off, the spotlight will undoubtedly be on Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett. Their competitive spirit, combined with their shared history, promises a thrilling showdown that fans won't want to miss.
