Speaker 1: I'm MIKEA. Are you there, MIKEA, are you there? Yes? Hey, Michael,
Speaker 1: congratulations you're the newest Dallas Cowboy. We're here with the
Speaker 1: Draft show. What are you? What's going through your head
Speaker 1: right now? And a lot is going through my head?
Speaker 1: But now, you know, I'm feeling a blessed. I'm feeling
Speaker 1: extremely grateful and I'm feeling ecstatic to be a part
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys. Hey, Mica, congrats. Man. I'm curious. I mean,
Speaker 1: you just said it, but you know, and people are
Speaker 1: talking about it on Twitter going all the way back
Speaker 1: to December. You know, you tweeted out that you wanted
Speaker 1: to be here? What what was it about the Cowboys?
Speaker 1: What was it about Dallas that that you felt that way?
Speaker 1: And I mean it's got to feel wild that something
Speaker 1: you've wanted for so long actually happened. With everything that
Speaker 1: happened in the first round. Um, you know, uh, people
Speaker 1: don't realize, like you know, I think, you know, just
Speaker 1: being in America then playing at playing for you know,
Speaker 1: the best team in America. You know, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: playing at atenc Stay then when I did, I fell
Speaker 1: in love with it. I knew who Jay Jones is.
Speaker 1: I know when he represents he's a serious man once
Speaker 1: to win games. And you know, I knew what I
Speaker 1: was stepping into, and I wanted to be in blue
Speaker 1: and white again. And I said, the place where I
Speaker 1: feel like they got there are a couple of pieces
Speaker 1: away from being a really good team was the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: And you know this is where I wanted to do.
Speaker 1: So we've obviously watched a lot of your tape and
Speaker 1: studied you leading up to the draft. But for all
Speaker 1: those Cowboys fans out there listening, tell us a little
Speaker 1: bit about your game. You know, your demeanor on the
Speaker 1: field a linebacker. You know my de bean on the
Speaker 1: linebacker is, you know, play physical, play fast, and make
Speaker 1: a lot of tackles. I like to fly to the ball.
Speaker 1: I think the best thing anybody can ever do is
Speaker 1: play with effort. And when you play with effort, a
Speaker 1: lot of great things happened around the ball. So that's
Speaker 1: kind of how you're gonna get me. You're gonna get
Speaker 1: a competitor. I'm never gonna go down easy, never gonna
Speaker 1: go down sweet, and I'm gonna come into regul to place. Now,
Speaker 1: you mentioned some of those pieces on the defensive side
Speaker 1: of the football, Mica, where do you feel like you're
Speaker 1: gonna fit in with this defense? Do you think there's
Speaker 1: a specific spot for you as you come in and
Speaker 1: get to get to work. Yeah, I mean I could
Speaker 1: play anywhere on the field. I think I'm gonna use
Speaker 1: my versatility early on to find out how they want
Speaker 1: to use me, and you know, take my opportunity and
Speaker 1: run away with it. You know, I think I'm here
Speaker 1: just based off our opportunities my whole life, and this
Speaker 1: is another great chance for me to take advantage of one.
Speaker 1: Kind of going off that, Micael, You know, we haven't
Speaker 1: really had a chance to talk to your new defensive
Speaker 1: coordinator Dan Quinn, but watching your tape, you know you
Speaker 1: can't help. But notice, like you said, your versatility you
Speaker 1: can get after the quarterback. You can. You know you
Speaker 1: had a big strip sack here at at and T
Speaker 1: Stadium a couple of years ago. Have you talked to
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn about how he wants to use you or
Speaker 1: what your role could be when you get here now? Yet?
Speaker 1: Like I said, I talked to the cowboys one time.
Speaker 1: I guess that one time was the best time the
Speaker 1: cowboy that's how to get to work. Well, we're excited
Speaker 1: to have you here and to see you get to work. Mica. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: we will see you soon and Aliston, hopefully sooner rather
Speaker 1: than later. We'll get to shake your hand whenever all
Speaker 1: this COVID nineteen is over. How about that? Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: sounds of amazing. Michael Parsons on the phone. Appreciate your
Speaker 1: time and well, of course he is the newest Dallas cowboy,
Speaker 1: and you know it is intriguing and like you said,
Speaker 1: it never gets old hearing from these prospects as their
Speaker 1: dreams are realized. And like you said, his last collegiate
Speaker 1: game the Cotton Bowl against Memphis close to New Year's
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. That was his last time on a
Speaker 1: collegiate football field. Guess where it was? Stadium baby,
