(@thesportscast1) October 30, 2022 He may play defense, but Parsons is an elite athlete who could excel on offense if that’s where he chose to play. However, it’s highly unlikely the Cowboys would entertain putting one of the best defensive players in the league in harm’s way as a kick returner. As Fassel acknowledged, he knows it’s not going to happen and he’s not in position to make the final call. Parsons’ place is on defense, where Dallas needs him to wreck games and an injury suffered anywhere else on the field would be a catastrophic mistake. Parsons is someone who believes in himself no matter the situation, but the Cowboys aren’t letting him return kicks. The team already has a dynamic returner in Turpin and another possible option in second-year running back Deuce Vaughn, they aren’t desperate for more candidates. It’s a fun idea, but there’s no doubt the Cowboys are less enthusiastic about the prospects of Parsons returning kicks that he is about doing the job. Email Sign up Like this article?
