Micah Parsons praises Dexter Lawrence but still has Giants beef over draft: ‘It’s personal with them’
NY Post
NEW ORLEANS — If Saquon Barkley is the Giant Who Used To Be, his close friend, Micah Parsons, is the Giant Who Never Was.
The Giants infamously passed on drafting Parsons in 2021, choosing to trade out of the No. 11 pick and allow the Penn State star to slip to the Cowboys.
The Giants wound up selecting bust Kadarius Toney at No. 20 and potential bust Evan Neal with the extra first-round pick gained from the Bears.
“I’ll never forget it,” Parsons told The Post on Thursday at Super Bowl 2025 radio row. “Honestly, playing next to Dexter Lawrence, I’d probably have 60 career sacks already. He’s a dawg.”
Considering Parsons already has 52.5 sacks in four seasons with the Cowboys, 60 is not a stretch.
But the respect from Parsons to the frequently double- and triple-teamed Lawrence across rivalry lines still holds — and serves as advice for Kayvon Thibodeaux.

It’s kind of funny if you think about it. For years, for decades — hell, for damn near half a century — it was the Yankees who would cause others in major league baseball to shake their heads, raise a fist, and make angry, bitter exclamations.
