Rams Ex Andrew Whitworth Helping Cowboys ‘Grinch Steal Christmas’?
In this story:
Innocently and generously enough, surely all Andrew Whitworth is trying to do here is play “teacher” to an enthusiastic pupil by the name of Micah Parsons, the young Dallas Cowboys superstar who is working on adding some bulk - and some moves - to help him morph from being an All-Pro linebacker into being an All-Pro edge rusher.
But Micah has gone public with the workout exchange via Twitter - and that’s how Christmas has come a bit early in terms of some social media fun.
Parsons pal Tyreek Hill of the Dolphins responded to a Parsons post by good-naturedly accusing him of trying to be a "motivational speaker.'' And as a result of that?
Parsons is now "The Grinch Who'll Steal Christmas from the Miami Dolphins.''
On Friday, Parsons shared a photo of him working out with retired Rams Pro Bowl offensive tackle Whitworth. And Micah offered a public thank you.
"Big shout to the big guy Andrew Whitworth for taking out the time in his week to help me grow as an player! We will only grow from those who have accomplished what we seek," Parsons tweeted.
Dolphins wide receiver Hill tried to poke some fun at Parsons' post, saying, "So now you (are a) motivational speaker? I’m confused."
Parsons responded by issuing a warning to Hill, and to Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who will be playing for the home team on Christmas Eve when Dallas visits south Florida on the just-released 2023 NFL schedule.
"Yeah! Keep up with them Twitter fingers only person will pay is Tua!!! I’ll see you Christmas Eve!! There only going to be one grinch who stole Christmas," Parsons tweeted.
As it happens, on October 29, the Rams happen to play at Dallas. So in a way, Whitworth is helping Parsons play the bad guy that day as well … all of it, part of an NFL schedule loaded with fun storylines. … that in this case, just happened to drag the well-meaning Whitworth in sideways.
