Cowboys’ Micah Parsons Ignites NFL Firestorm with Explosive MVP Award Fraud Allegations
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons is sending shockwaves through the NFL with his bold claims of fraud surrounding the 2023 MVP award[1][7]. Missing out on the coveted title himself, Parsons has emerged as a vocal critic, stirring controversy and igniting heated debates across social media platforms[1][5].
Parsons has openly stated that his teammate, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, was more deserving of the MVP award than the ultimate winner, Lamar Jackson[1][5][7]. According to Parsons, Prescott’s performance, stats, and leadership during the 2023 season were superior, despite Jackson receiving the award[1].
> “Well, I think Dak [Prescott] should have been the MVP last year,” Parsons said[1]. “All things aside, you look at the stats and everything he accomplished- 12-5, playoff team, however you want to name it”[1].
Parsons emphasized that Prescott achieved his success without the support of a “Triple Crown defense,” unlike Jackson[1].
In a stunning revelation, Parsons accused the New York Giants of making false promises during the 2021 NFL Draft[2][4]. Parsons claims the Giants told him they would draft him with the 11th overall pick if he was available[2][4][6]. However, the Giants traded the pick, paving the way for the Cowboys to select Parsons at No. 12[4].
Parsons has stated that this perceived betrayal fuels his on-field performance against the Giants[2][4]. “That’s why I punish the Giants every time,” he said[4]. In eight games against the Giants, Parsons has recorded 4.5 sacks and 13 quarterback hits[4].
Adding fuel to the fire, Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp has publicly questioned Parsons’ abilities as a pass rusher[3]. Sapp dismissed Parsons’ achievements, suggesting he doesn’t see him as a true pass rusher[3]. Despite Parsons having earned four Pro Bowl selections, four All-Pro selections, and 52.5 sacks in four seasons, Sapp remains unconvinced[3].
