Dallas traded back in the draft after two of the top cornerbacks the team was reportedly targeting were selected right ahead of them. The Cowboys made a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, allowing their NFC East rivals to move up in the draft while also skipping over the New York Giants.
Parsons played two seasons at Penn State and skipped the third season over coronavirus concerns.
In 26 games, he recorded 191 tackles with 18 tackles for a loss. He added 6.5 sacks and six forced fumbles. He was among the top tacklers in the Big Ten, finishing third in the conference with 109 total tackles.
