There was a lot of, I would say, hate, jealousy, envy towards him because of who he is and the production he does on the field. Imagine if you come in here and you\u2019re take somebody\u2019s shine or taking somebody\u2019s spot, you\u2019re not gonna like that. They\u2019re gonna feel a type of way, especially if you\u2019re that type of person. Me personally, I never got no bad anything from him, like, ever, ever since he stepped foot on the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is well documented that Parsons and former defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/micah-parsons-on-demarcus-lawrences-criticism-questioning-my-commitment-is-ridiculous-outrageous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">had a beef<\/a>. Lawrence criticized Parsons after he signed with the Seahawks, setting off a public fight on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Parsons\u2019 podcast, \u201cThe Edge with Micah Parsons,\u201d has been a source of contention with others on the team. A year ago, safety Malik Hooker, who remains with the Cowboys, questioned Parsons\u2019 priorities because of his podcast, prompting Parsons to respond on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI guess his personality and who he is, he knows he\u2019s a great player,\u201d Diggs said. \u201cHe knows he\u2019s good; he knows who he is. So, a lot of people don\u2019t like that. So that could\u2019ve been different. But when we\u2019re in the locker, everyone\u2019s joking; everyone\u2019s laughing; everyone\u2019s smiling; everyone\u2019s happy. So I don\u2019t know where those narratives came from. From my standpoint, he\u2019s a great kid. He takes care of his family, takes care of his responsibilities on the field, and off the field, so he can\u2019t do no wrong in my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After the Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Packers, owner Jerry Jones said it was a unanimous decision&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126367,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-126366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126366\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
