Micah Parsons Accuses Giants of Draft Deception

Micah Parsons, the Dallas Cowboys linebacker, expressed regret for not considering Texas during his college recruitment, revealing on his podcast that he gained a new appreciation for the state's football culture while living there. Parsons, who was the No. 5 overall recruit in 2018, ultimately chose Penn State over offers from Alabama and others, aiming for a more enjoyable college experience. Reflecting on his draft experience, Parsons revealed that the New York Giants misled him about their interest in selecting him with the No. 11 pick in 2021, which they later traded, allowing him to be drafted by the Cowboys at No. 12. Since joining the Cowboys, Parsons has dominated the Giants, accumulating impressive stats and contributing to an undefeated record against them. His disdain for the Giants stems from this draft snub, which he claims fuels his performance against the team. Parsons continues to praise fellow defensive player Dexter Lawrence while critiquing the Giants' decisions, including their selection of Kadarius Toney over him.
