Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons is aware of the impact playing football has on his body.
His decision to add more muscle mass this offseason was not just so he could become a more effective pass rusher, but so his body can take more hits, extending his career longevity.
“It’s about stability,” Parsons said at a charity event at the Boys and Girls Club of Grand Prairie on Tuesday.. “Strengthening joints, strengthening the knees, shoulders, so all the nagging injuries don’t come across. Especially in the groin. I’m trying to stay as healthy as possible.”
