It looks like Tom Brady was truly impressed by Micah Parsons, who was watching him from the broadcasting debut in the season-opening game of the Dallas Cowboys. Since the Cowboys resolved all the contract disputes and addressed the deficiencies in the offensive line ahead of Week 1, the players were extra motivated, resulting in a dominating 33-17 victory against the Cleveland Browns. 

Though the star linebacker’s contract extension remains a question mark, his performance in the opening game sure put him in the spotlight. Fox Sports analyst Brady was particularly impressed by Parsons’ performance with several impactful defensive plays as he expressed in the live interaction with him.

It's fun being up here and not having you chase me around. To see you from this perspective, man, you played a great game today... You get so many double-teams out there, but you still find a way to make an impact. Way to go.
Tom Brady told Micah Parsons

To appreciate the star pass-rusher, he was awarded the inaugural LFG! Player of the Game for racking up four tackles, a sack, and a tackle. Such an award not only portrayed the strong defensive line of the Cowboys but also a strong foot-holding in the contract negotiation.

The reigning Defensive Player of the Year was left in awe after hearing such high praise from the seven-time Super Bowl champion and receiving the LFG Player of the Game award. He expressed his gratitude and shared that he has been following Brady’s advice all along which he received in the offseason. 

I appreciate that, TB. I take everything you told me this offseason and just trying to use it and enforce it in this game. And I appreciate this award, bro. This means a lot coming from you!

The star pass rusher also expressed his overwhelming reaction to the stadium filled with Cowboys fans and claimed it was the ‘Cowboys takeover.’ At the young age of 25, Parsons has already established himself as one of the most disruptive defensive players in the league.

From earning First-Team All-Pro honors in his rookie season to leading the league in pressures of 103, a quarterback pressure rate of 21.8%, and a pass-rush win rate of 35.3%, Parsons has made his presence known. He and his team are now preparing for the Week 2 matchup against the New Orleans Saints on September 15.
