Micah Parsons Calls Out Giants for Broken Draft Promise

The Cowboys star linebacker claims the Giants misled him during the 2021 NFL Draft, fueling his personal rivalry with the team.

  • Micah Parsons alleges that the New York Giants promised to draft him at No. 11 in the 2021 NFL Draft but traded the pick instead.
  • The Giants traded their 11th pick to the Bears, who selected Justin Fields, while Dallas landed Parsons at No. 12.
  • Parsons has since dominated the Giants, contributing to an 8-0 record against them with 4.5 sacks and 13 quarterback hits.
  • The Giants' decision to draft Kadarius Toney at No. 20 instead of Parsons has been widely criticized, as Toney struggled and is no longer in the league.
  • Parsons expressed admiration for Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, suggesting he could have achieved even greater success playing alongside him.
