Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett discuss edge rusher rankings on podcast

Green Bay Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons and Los Angeles Rams star Myles Garrett engaged in a debate regarding their status as top defenders on the podcast The Edge. Parsons asserted his ability to play multiple defensive line positions at a high level, while Garrett defended his own sack production and run-stopping capabilities. Although Parsons has led the NFL in pressures since he entered the league, Garrett has accumulated more total sacks and tackles for loss in that span. Garrett challenged the suggestion that Parsons effectively sets the edge in run defense, a claim Parsons disputed by citing his own statistics. Parsons concluded the exchange by suggesting that Garrett’s sack record will eventually be broken, prompting Garrett to respond that the record currently remains his.
