Micah Parsons has gotten a pretty big role off the field.

He’ll also launch new shows and help create more original social content, per the announcement.

In addition to having this role, he’ll continue to play for the Cowboys and be one of the top pass rushers in the league. He finished the 2023 season with 64 total tackles, 14 sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and two passes defended.
He hasn’t won the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award yet but it’s something that he’ll be trying to do for this upcoming season.
He’ll also try and help the Cowboys go on a deep playoff run. They haven’t won a Super Bowl since the 1995 season.
