Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons is one of the most exciting players to watch in the NFL and his body of work has earned him praise and respect around the league.

He became the 21st defensive player in NFL history and just the second Cowboys player (Mel Renfro) to make the Pro Bowl in each of his first four seasons of his career. Only four Cowboys at any position have made the Pro Bowl four straight years to begin their career – Renfro, Emmitt Smith, Zack Martin and now Parsons.

Despite missing four games due to a high-ankle sprain, Micah Parsons was still able to lead the team with 9.5 sacks. Not only has the former Penn State Nittany Lion recorded eight sacks in eight games, but the Cowboys have 28 sacks as a team, the most of any NFL team during that span.

Micah Parsons also host a famosu podcast called “The Edge with Micah Parsons” where he gets to give an inside perspective on the Dallas Cowboys season and breaks down the latest NFL news and storylines every week, as well as conducting interviews with the league’s stars.

During his most recent episode, Parsons had a very special guest: Pro Bowl running back from the Baltimore Ravens Derrick Henry, who was selected to his third straight Pro Bowl. after having the second-most rushing yards in the NFL (1,921), averaging 5.9 yards per carry and tying Buffalo Bills running back James Cook for the most rushing touchdowns in the NFL (16).

Parsons asked Henry if a Super Bowl is the one thing he needs on his NFL career, to which the former Alabama Crimson Tide replied that was indeed true. “I need it, I’mma be depressed if I don’t get it. I got to get a Super Bowl. Please Lord, right now, please, if you hear me.” Henry said.

“I hate to do this to you dog, you got to do what Shady did.” Parsons replied, referring to former running back LeSean McCoy, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles during his first five seasons in the league before being traded to the Buffalo Bills, team where he played during four seasons before getting released.

That turned out to be a good luck charm for McCoy, who went on to win his only two Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs (2019) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2020). He retired after his last Super Bowl.

Derrick Henry answered that he was not going to do something similar. Micah Parsons, on the other hand, didn’t mind thinking about a scenario where that could happen in his career. “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.” the Cowboys standout said. “Not at all, I’m playing with the quarterback I always wanted to play with.” Henry replied.

“In the next four or five years, once I hit that 30 (years old), and I’m not where I need to be, if that ring is not right here, fitted.” Parsons continued as me made the iconic Tomahawk Chop that the Kansas City Chiefs fans make whenever they want to show support for their team.

After a quick search for a new head coach, owner Jerry Jones decided that the leader for his Dallas Cowboys will be Brian Schottenheimer. The move caused major criticism from voices around the league, including legendary wide receiver Michael Irvin, who expressed that they were better options for Dallas.

However, Schottenheimer also received some positive messages from Cowboys‘ legends such as former coach Jimmy Johnson. “I wish Brian all the luck in the world, I texted him the other day and said if there’s anything I can ever do, just give me a call.”

“I think he’s an outstanding football coach, he’s got a great history as far as being in the league. The other thing is I think Brian was a big part of putting together the gameplans with Mike McCarthy, and so I think that had a lot to do with him getting the head coaching job.”

Darren Woodson, former Cowboys defensive back and Ring of Honor member, said that he’s going to support whoever they deem is the right guy. “I understand the criticism where all the criticism is coming out from because they haven’t had success. They haven’t won a championship and they’re the number one franchise in sports. So of course you’re a lightning rod to the criticism.”
