Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons was on his show ‘The Edge with Micah Parsons,’ with guest Bijan Robinson, and discussed his experience playing college football at Penn State and explained why he almost quit football.
“Penn State was the craziest experience of my life. To this day I tell people, like, that was the best experience I’ve ever had in my life and the crazy part is, it happened and I almost quit football my first two months. It was that hard bro I’m not going to lie it was that hard. College kids got it so sweet now like I get NIL, I’m not jealous” said Parsons, “I was in a 4 a.m. group like when we had to have like morning workouts at 4:00 a.m. like I was in that era of like like pain and suffering like before they kind of like tweaked it out, not didn’t make it as hard, yeah it’s sweet now bro.”
Parsons played at Penn State from 2018-2020 earning a consensus All-American selection, Big Ten linebacker of the year and first-team All-Big 10 selection. The Cowboys would draft Parsons with the 12th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft.
