ESPN Makes Historic Micah Parsons Prediction for Packers

ESPN analyst Seth Walder, in the network’s Future Power Rankings projecting the 2027-29 window, predicts that Packers star Micah Parsons will break the NFL single-season sack record. Parsons has never topped 14 sacks in a season, but Walder points to a 29% career pass-rush win rate since entering the league in 2021—higher than Myles Garrett’s 24.9%. The current record is held by Garrett with 23 sacks for the 2025 Browns, edging the shared 22.5-sack mark by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt. Parsons says he expects to chase the record in about two years, though he’s recovering from a torn ACL and meniscus procedure and expects to miss early 2026.
