It only took Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons one year to become one of the NFL’s most fearsome defensive players, and one tweet Wednesday afternoon might just turn him into a 21st-century Joe Namath.
It all started with a Front Office Sports tweet outlining the Pro Bowl Games skills competitions, which will include events such as dodgeball, precision passing and best catch. Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill lamented the event’s lack of a fastest man competition, calling it “boring.”
The NFL’s account replied and tagged Hill and Parsons, who competed in a 40-yard dash event at last year’s Pro Bowl. “Should we run it back?” the league asked.
