Micah Parsons says Giants promised to draft him, takes matchup personally

It would have been terrible if Micah Parsons had wound up with the Giants.

Dallas Cowboys superstar Micah Parsons enjoyed the Super Bowl festivities in New Orleans, taking part in several interviews. Notably, he joined Bryant McFadden of CBS Sports, and name-dropped the division rival New York Giants.

“They lied to me. People don’t know this. They told me if I fell to 11 that they was gonna pick me. That’s why I punish the Giants every time.”

Parsons certainly has made a career punishing the Giants. He has 14 tackles and 4.5 sacks in eight career games against the team from New York. Most importantly, he is 8-0 against them to start his career.

While there have been many decisions the Giants front office has made as of late that they likely regret, their 2021 NFL Draft was a disaster. The team traded back from their 11th pick with the Chicago Bears, who ultimately selected QB Justin Fields. New York drafted wide receiver Kadarius Toney, offensive tackle Evan Neal, cornerback Aaron Robinson, and tight end Daniel Bellinger with their picks acquired from the trade.

Thank goodness the draft ended up as it did. Not only is Micah Parsons one of the few bright spots on this current Dallas Cowboys roster, but imagine if the offense had to go up against Parsons twice a season.

Parsons is due for a potentially record-breaking contract extension in the near future. Through four seasons with the Cowboys he’s already accumulated 52.5 sacks, establishing himself as one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL.
