That's one way to get it done, and it seems to be working.

Parsons has been sharp to start training camp and has even found himself stepping into more of a leadership role.

Last season, Parsons recorded 64 total tackles, 18 tackles for a loss, 33 QB hits, and a career-high 14 sacks. The former NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year has earned All-Pro honors in each of his three seasons, so if his routine with his new defensive coordinator allows him to stay comfortable, opposing quarterbacks better watch out.
