Atlanta Falcons
Micah Parsons. 9. player. 44. Pick Analysis. LB. Penn State. Scouting Report
The Atlanta Falcons are in need of some playmakers at every level of their defense.
They also need a leader in the middle of it.
Micah Parsons is one of the best linebacker prospects in the early scouting for the 2021 NFL Draft and certainly one of the most complete players at the position.
"If Parsons can stay healthy and continue to develop, he will emerge as one of the top five players in the country."@MoveTheSticks scouts Penn State LB Micah Parsons.https://t.co/ATYrCbvEYv #FirstLook pic.twitter.com/VcPYpckdkn

Last season at Penn State, he had 109 total tackles, 14 tackles for loss, five sacks, five pass breakups, four fumbles forced, and a partridge in a pear tree.
There was no play Parsons did not make for the Nittany Lions’ defense, and at 6-foot-3, 245 pounds, he’s got tremendous size, athleticism, and range.
