New Dallas Cowboy Tyler Booker has made quite the impression on Micah Parsons.<\/div>\n

For most, the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys’ selection of Alabama guard\u00a0Tyler Booker\u00a0was an underwhelming pick given the need for receiver help.<\/p>\n

But the selection of Booker, a physical monster who plays with grit and power, and will step into the right guard position vacated by the retiring Zack Martin, shores up the right-hand side.<\/p>\n

Micah Parsons was the subject of several memes after his less-than-impressed instant reaction to Booker’s pick, but on the Bleacher Report’s Draft Show, Micah got to hear Tyler speak.<\/p>\n

And he’s hyped.<\/p>\n

Booker’s quote pre-draft, “I make guys not love football anymore,” was brought up, and the new Cowboy detailed exactly what that looks and feels like on the ground.<\/p>\n

“It feels great,”\u00a0Booker said. “Football is a child’s game, they get excited, so excited to play football, until they come across Tyler Booker. When I’m going after you, quarter after quarter, play after play, series after series, and I start to see that love leave their eyes, that’s what makes me love the game.”<\/p>\n

This sent Micah into a hyped-up frenzy, to which he yelled, “Welcome to the team!”<\/p>\n

So Parsons is clearly on board with the Booker pick, and it is going to make for a great training camp battle between the All-Pro and the rookie in Oxnard.<\/p>\n

Seen as another piece to Brian Schottenheimer’s vision of changing the culture and bringing in a player who has the character and leadership traits he is looking for, Booker wasn’t a sexy pick, but perhaps it was a smart one.<\/p>\n

Not everyone agrees, and that is fine, but with an emphasis on running the football, Dallas got another brute of a lineman who loves punishing people and taking their will to fight back.<\/p>\n

And that, my friends, is a great character to have in the locker room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
