Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons may be biased, but he called teammate CeeDee Lamb the best wide receiver in the NFL on Tuesday.
“The best receiver in the NFL,” Parsons said on his podcast. “Not in the top five, not in the top three, he's in the top two [and] not two.”
“He should probably be Offensive Player of the Year,” Parsons continued. “CeeDee Lamb, congratulations brother. You really show why you are number 1.'
'There are a lot of naysayers. I remember Richard Sherman saying earlier this year, “He wasn't even a top-5 receiver.” A lot of people said he couldn't be No. 1 if Amari Cooper was gone,” said Parsons.
'CeeDee is still there. He's only getting better. And he's having the year of his life and he's going to get a big payday soon,” concluded Parsons.
CeeDee Lamb's stock has risen throughout the season to a point where he is considered an elite talent

Parsons also mentioned that Lamb had recently received a random drug test from the NFL.
The linebacker insisted, “we know he's clean.”
Lamb is having the best year of his career, with 1,651 yards in 16 games.
Lamb is second in the NFL, behind only Tyreek Hill, in the stat line, although he has played one more game than the Miami Dolphins sensation.
After being selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Lamb has consistently racked up more receiving yards each season.
Parsons, Lamb and the Cowboys are having one of their best regular seasons of this century
Lamb has been a big part of the Cowboys' offensive successes this season, with the team in a prime position to host a play-off match.
Should the Cowboys beat their archrival, the 4-12 Washington Commanders, on Sunday, they will be the second seed in the NFC.
Lamb is expected to compete for several postseason awards, including NFL Offensive Player of the Year, with stiff competition.
