"I already told them I’m going hard as heck," Parsons told NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe on Saturday. "I’m going to be like Sean Taylor out in that joint. They’re going to tell me to slow down. They’re going to be so mad."
The rookie was referring to an unforgettable Pro Bowl moment in 2007 when Sean Taylor lowered the boom on punter Brian Moorman during a fake punt, per NFL.com.
