Micah Parsons has become one of the vocal and emotional leaders for the Dallas Cowboys. He’s already been a force on the field but is now focused on seeing the entire team grow.

One area where Parsons has endeared himself to fans is his loyalty to America’s Team. Despite growing up in Pennsylvania, he’s been adamant about his dislike for their top rival, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Now, Parsons might be ready to turn some of that dislike toward another NFC East foe, the New York Giants.

Parsons quote-tweeted a post on social media showing rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart posing with a lion he killed while hunting. Parsons, who considers himself a lion, said Dart hurt one of his people.

He hurt one of my people 🦁🤐😤 https://t.co/iDczJpGoyg

This could give Parsons some extra motivation to get after Dart, but that might not happen when the two teams face off in 2025.

While Dart is considered the future face of the franchise in New York, he’s expected to start his career on the bench behind Russell Wilson. Once he officially takes over, however, Dart might need to keep his head on a swivel because the lion is about to be the one doing the hunting.
