Cowboys' Micah Parsons Praises CeeDee Lamb as Best WR He's Seen: 'He's QB-Proof'

CeeDee Lamb's success after Dak Prescott's season-ending injury is proof the star wideout is "quarterback proof," according to Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons.

"He might be the best receiver I've seen," Parsons said, per The Athletic's Jon Machota. "He's QB-proof. I've seen him get 1,000 with Andy Dalton. I've seen him get 1,000 with Dak Prescott. I've seen him get 1,000 with Cooper Rush.

"You give grace to all these other wide receivers and say they're not producing because they don't have their quarterback. CeeDee has shown time and time again that he can do it with anybody throwing him the ball."

Parsons continued, per All DLLS' Clarence Hill Jr.: "He can find a way to get open. He's competitive. He's a dog. I just don't think he's comparable. That's why I think he the best."

Lamb made seven catches on eight targets from Cooper Rush last Sunday to total 105 receiving yards in the Cowboys' Week 16 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Lamb has been playing without Prescott since Week 9. The Cowboys starter made his final appearance of the season on Nov. 3 before undergoing season-ending surgery on his injured hamstring.

The wideout has made 48 catches for 534 yards and two touchdowns in seven games since then as Rush's top target.

His 1,194 total receiving yards this season rank him third in the NFL heading into Thursday behind the Cincinnati Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase and the Minnesota Vikings' Justin Jefferson.

Those achievements are even more impressive given that Lamb has been playing through a shoulder injury throughout parts of the 2024 season.

He appeared to aggravate his shoulder after a tackle on Sunday but stayed in the game, later saying that he had been "battling" through the injury.

"I love this game that much," Lamb said after the game, per Machota. "I'm literally willing to put my body out there on the line for my guys."

The Cowboys were eliminated from contention before playing the Bucs on Sunday. Dallas, which signed Lamb to a four-year extension ahead of the season, will hope Lamb and Prescott have time to fully recover before the team attempts another postseason push in 2025.
