The star defensive player is holding youth camps all over Texas over the next few months.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Dallas Cowboys star defensive player Micah Parsons was in town Saturday morning for a football camp over at St. John Paul II High School.
The event drew hundreds of Cowboys fans and plenty of young athletes too. Parsons took pictures with the campers, who ranged in age from six to 16… and he even survived a mosh pit of youngsters when he first arrived.
The former Defensive Rookie of the Year says it’s important to hold camps like his to show the kids that maybe they someday could be the ones making a name for themselves in the NFL
“Obviously they see me on TV, but to interact with me and ask me a million questions while we’re out here, I think that also has importance too,” Parsons said. “They visualize, ‘I can hold my own camp and can come back to my hometown and go great things one day.'”
Parsons is holding his camp all throughout Texas over the next few months, including one in Hebbronville on March 29th. The Corpus Christi Tritons players and coaches were out helping the Cowboys star coach the kids and they’ll be in action themselves Sunday at 5 PM in the season opener at the American Bank Center.
