It’s not easy to stand out in the National Football League, particularly on defense.
The new rules make it quite difficult for pass-rushers to make an impact, as they strongly favor quarterbacks.
With that in mind, PFF put together its ranking of the best defensive linemen ahead of the upcoming season, and Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons was far from impressed, literally laughing at them.

The list starts with Carolina Panthers star Derrick Brown, who’s fresh off posting a career-best 103 tackles.
Then, they have Jalen Carter, who’s about to enter his second year in the league and should have a prominent role for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Aidan Hutchinson got the nod at No. 9, and he vowed to take a leap forward as the Detroit Lions’ defensive anchor.
Then, they chose New York Jets star Quinnen Williams, a one-man unit off of the line of scrimmage.
They later had two Defensive Player of the Year candidates in Maxx Crosby and TJ Watt at No. 7 and No. 6, respectively, which was a bit of a surprise, with New York Giants star Dexter Lawrence ahead of them.
Another former Defensive Player of the Year was next, with San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa falling just shy of the podium.
Chris Jones took the bronze medal at No. 3, which sounds just about right for the Kansas City Chiefs star.
Then, they had Parsons, just below reigning DPOY, Myles Garrett.
Perhaps he sees himself as superior to the Cleveland Browns star or he just doesn’t agree with the rankings.
