Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy takes shot at Micah Parsons for skipping OTAs

Micah Parsons quickly became one of the best defensive players in football. The 11th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft has finished in the top three in each of his three seasons for the Defensive Player of the Year Award, and he's trying to get a new deal. Parsons was at the complex Wednesday, and head coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday Parsons has been there more than people realize. "I think anytime you have a chance to be together, it's an opportunity to improve, whether it's in the mental realm, the physical realm, which is limited obviously this time of year, and the emotional connection and so forth," McCarthy said.
