Micah Parsons Has No Fear in Wearing Lion Halloween Costume With Son

The All-Pro edge rusher is very confident in wearing his festive attire.

Micah Parsons arrived at Dallas’s AT&T Stadium for Week 8’s game with the Rams in true Halloween fashion, wearing a Lion costume and a custom chain referencing his popular lion crawl sack celebration.

The Cowboys’ edge rusher considers himself a lion and has truly embraced the king of the jungle as his persona. The All-Pro linebacker marked his territory by disrupting the Rams’ offense on Sunday, registering one sack, two tackles, one pass deflection, and three quarterback hits in a 43–20 win against Los Angeles.

After Dallas earned its 11th consecutive home victory, Parsons told reporters he was taking his son to a pumpkin patch. When asked if he would wear his Halloween-themed attire to the event, the two-time Pro Bowler had a blunt answer.

“Hell yeah,” Parsons said, per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News. “What are they going to say to me?”

Parsons is right. Very few will likely have the courage to make fun of a 6’3”, 245-pound man wearing a lion outfit. Especially when it has some personal meaning to him.

Before the Cowboys drafted Parsons in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft, he came from a lion lineage as a star defender for the Nittany Lions of Penn State. As he continues to claw his way into offensive backfields and create nightmare matchups for opposing offensive linemen and quarterbacks, the lion persona will only continue to grow each week.
