Picking the 'ultimate' franchise-building centerpiece of the NFL isn't an easy task with so much established and talent in the league. When thinking of the number one foundation piece in the NFL, many players come to mind, such as Patrick Mahomes, Micah Parsons, Jalen Hurts, Justin Jefferson or Aaron Donald.
But according to NFL.com's Bucky Brooks, the Dallas Cowboys linebacker, set to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in football, is the 'ultimate' franchise-building centerpiece. "Micah Parsons is the ultimate front-line hybrid force, excelling as an off-ball linebacker and line-of-scrimmage rusher in a scheme that allows him to flourish as a 'see ball, get ball' defender," Brooks writes.

Afterward, he adds: "A splash-play specialist with a high-revving motor and an elite competitive spirit, the fifth-year pro overwhelms opponents with energy and ion. Throw in his elite skills as a playmaker, and it is hard to find a better stud to build around than Dallas' perennial All-Pro."
In just four seasons, Parsons has quickly become one of the most dominant and versatile defenders in the NFL. A four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, he's established himself as a game-changer on every down. Parsons has recorded at least 12.0 sacks in each of his first four seasons, proving his elite ability to rush the er. His combination of speed, strength, and football IQ allows him to disrupt offenses in multiple ways.
Beyond his -rushing prowess, Parsons is incredibly versatile, excelling both as an edge rusher and in coverage. His ability to impact the game from multiple positions makes him a unique weapon for any defense. With his consistent performance, leadership, and rare skill set, Parsons is the perfect player for a franchise to build around, offering long-term stability and the potential for sustained success.
