Cowboys’ Micah Parsons ‘Dying to Meet Michael Jordan’, Says He and Kobe Bryant ‘Are My Favorite Athletes Ever’

Former Penn State standout Micah Parsons may have been disappointed with Monday night's national championship result as Michigan beat Washington 34-13.

Though, the Cowboys' star pass-rusher did find a positive in the event; admiring a star-studded suite at NRG Stadium, which included Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and hip-hop artist, Travis Scott.

"This is a hell of a suite. There's so much Hall of Famers and greatness in that suite. I wish I was in that suite," Parsons said on Bleacher Report's 'The Edge.'

Of the nationally-recognized faces, one stood out to Parsons more than the rest.

"I'm dying to meet Michael Jordan on just a mentality perspective, how he came into every week, how he proved his greatness every day. Him and Kobe are like my favorite athletes ever."

"This is a hell of a suite. If I could create a suite, those people would be in [mine]. You are who you hang with, point blank period," Parsons concluded.

With a 38-10 win against the Washington Commanders Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys clinched the NFC East title with a 12-5 record.

Parsons was a pivotal part of the team's regular season success, finishing the year with 64 total tackles and 14 sacks. On his weekly podcast, the 24-year-old shared his perspective on his regular season.

"Got my 14th sack of the season, big career high for me. I said I wasn't going to be a 13-sack guy no more, just speaking into existence, I thought I was going to be a 17,18 guy. But we won't get into that," Parsons said.

"We all know we could have, should have, would have. [I] had 14 this year, obviously next year we're trying to go bigger and better and just keep raising the bar every year."

"Fifth player since 1982 with at least 40 career sacks in the first three seasons," he continued. "Super blessed, super honored and just thankful every day the Dallas Cowboys chose me and they put so much effort and energy into me."

Dallas will now host Jordan Love and the 9-8 Green Bay Packers Sunday afternoon.
