Former All-Pro LB: Micah Parsons 'needs to go to a leadership school'

Few would argue against Dallas Cowboys edge-rusher Micah Parsons being one of the three best players at his position.

However, if there’s one criticism of Parsons, it’s that he sometimes pays too much attention to what’s being said about himself and the rest of the Cowboys defense by reporters and through social media.

For that reason, former New York Jets All-Pro linebacker Bart Scott called Parsons too sensitive during a recent appearance on ESPN’s “Get Up.”

“Is he a great player? Yes. But just because you’re a great player don’t mean you’re a great leader,” Scott said. "He needs to go to a leadership school and learn how to lead by example and quit talking so much and being so damn sensitive. You’re a linebacker; that’s supposed to be a tough guy spot. He’s the most sensitive guy I’ve ever seen. He responds to everything. Get off of social media, quit tweeting, quit talking about responding, and go about your business, man.”
