Dallas Cowboys superstar Micah Parsons is celebrating a big day. Unfortunately, it's not the day that is making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
Instead, Parsons is celebrating eclipsing the quarter-century mark with his 26th birthday.
The former Penn State Nittany Lions star and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania native gets to enjoy the start of the final month of May with his loved ones before, hopefully, joining the Cowboys next month for mandatory minicamp.

Of course, with the contract drama going on, he may opt out of minicamp, but let's not worry about that for now. The Cowboys certainly don't want you to, because they shared a clever and entertaining video highlighting the many sides of the superstar defender and his "birthday mood."
Parsons is entertaining on and off of the field. That is part of what has endeared him to Cowboys Nation. He's a bonafide star who the fans hope will remain in Dallas for the long run.

He has previously said that he hopes to retire as a member of the Cowboys, and the team's front office is optimistic that a deal will get done, so let's hope everything can come together.
In the meantime, happy birthday, Lion.
