Cowboys' Micah Parsons throws shade at NFL hopeful

Dallas outside linebacker and internet troll Micah Parsons is at it again.

The two-time All-Pro's latest target is Iowa defensive lineman Lukas Van Ness. Before Iowa’s Pro Day, NFL Rookie Watch posted a video of the 6-foot-5, 269-pound defensive lineman effortlessly pushing away blocking dummies during a recent drill.

Parsons was not impressed. In fact, he was so underwhelmed that he pointed out the obvious while demeaning Van Ness in the process.

Van Ness has a chance to be the first Iowa defensive end taken in the first round since Adrian Clayborn in 2011.

Parsons has a habit of posting inflammatory comments online.

After a season-ending playoff loss to the 49ers in January, Parsons appeared to criticize his own QB, Dak Prescott by tweeting,

"Besides [Patrick] Mahomes, every team in the final 4 Qb is on a rookie deal and surrounded by talent! Mhmm interesting take!"

Parsons later walked back the comment.

When Detroit WR Amon-Ra St. Brown tried to recruit the former Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey to Detroit, Parsons tweeted, "I’m sorry no one going from la to Detroit."

The old saying "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it" carries no meaning for Parsons, who apparently relishes being an All-Pro internet troll, too.
