As if Micah Parsons needed more fuel for fire heading into the postseason, the NFL Players Association apparently gave him some.
The Dallas Cowboys linebacker sounded off on Twitter regarding the NFPA’s inaugural All-Pro team that was announced on Wednesday, which did not include the second-year defensive star.
The only off-ball linebackers who made the list were Roquan Smith of the Baltimore Ravens and Fred Warner of the San Francisco 49ers.
Parsons won Defensive Rookie of the Year last season and has followed that with another impressive campaign for the 2022 season. He finished the year with 13.5 sacks, three recovered fumbles — including one for a touchdown — 65 total tackles, 14 tackles for a loss and 27 QB hits.
The list was comprised by active players around the league, who wer asked ot vote for the best player at their position and the position they line up against.
Parsons still made the Pro Bowl — which is voted on by fans, players and coaches — so he still got some recognition from his peers.
The Cowboys are likely hoping Parsons takes that energy and brings it to the field on Monday when they face Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a first-round Super Wild Card matchup.
Surely, if Parsons can hoist the Lombardi Trophy by the end of the year he won’t care about any list.
