"I think they got some really great players around here," Parsons said. "But I just think it’s a bunch of players that work really hard, and I think it rubs off whenever you play guys like La’el [Collins in practice]. When I’m going against La’el, and I’m challenging him every down, saying, ‘What could I do there? How can I make this better?’ or I’m going against Zack [Martin], and I’m just getting those opportunities, it really just makes those guys [on other teams] not look as good."
Parsons will lead the Cowboys (9-4) into MetLife Stadium to take on the Giants next.
