Twenty-nine NFL players were named to the players first All-Pro team, and Micah Parsons was not one of them.
The Star Dallas Cowboys linebacker was among the most notable players not to crack the team announced by the NFLPA Wednesday. The Players’ All-Pro Team was chosen solely by active players.
San Francisco’s Nick Bosa and Cleveland’s Myles Garrett were picked over Parsons at the edge rusher, while Baltimore’s Roquan Smith and San Francisco’s Fred Warner earned the two off-ball linebacker spots.
Parsons’ reaction to his colleagues’ voting results? “Fuck that list!”
Man I’m in playoff mode for this list! Congratulations to those who made it! They earn it !

The 2021 Defensive Rookie of the Year had a dominant start to 2022, amassing 12 sacks and 13 tackles in losses in 11 games. But Parsons’ production plummeted with 1.5 sacks and a tackle for the loss in Dallas’ last six games.
