Hafley Bets Parsons Breaks Sack Record Post-ACL

Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley has expressed strong confidence in star defensive end Micah Parsons, predicting he will break the NFL sack record next season. Parsons suffered an ACL tear recently and is targeting a return by September, a timeline that conventional recovery schedules might not support for the start of the next season.

Hafley's bold statement comes despite Parsons' recent injury and the fact that the NFL sack record, held by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt, is currently a high benchmark. Parsons, who has consistently ranked among the league leaders in sacks and pressures, also faces the challenge of potentially missing games.

The Packers acquired Parsons in a significant trade and made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. Despite the loss of their key player, the team remains focused on finishing the season strong, with their next game against the Chicago Bears determining the NFC North lead.
