Cowboys: Micah Parsons shows the NFL he's an absolute class act

A few weeks ago, Dallas Cowboys superstar Micah Parsons fed the NFL world with some top-tier bulletin board material after his appearance on Von Miller's podcast. In the show, Parsons and Miller discussed the Philadelphia Eagles and Jalen Hurts' chances of winning the MVP.
"Is it Hurts or the team?" was the question that Parsons posed on the show.
In a world fueled by one-minute clips taken out of context, that was more than enough for NFL media outlets to blow Parsons' comments out of proportion. The narrative suddenly became something along the lines of Cowboys superstar takes a shot at Jalen Hurts.
In reality, Parsons was making a point about the MVP being a quarterback award, as he detailed days later.
"I'm not trying to make no enemies," added the Cowboys edge rusher in the same segment.
Following Saturday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles, Parsons shared a great moment with Jordan Mailata and Dallas Goedert. NFL Films tweeted a clip of the moment that you can see below.
"I credit y'all, bro, I know what y'all do," the Cowboys pass rusher tells the Eagles standout left tackle in the clip. "Going against you, Lane (Johnson), and then that defense. I already know what it is. […] I just know, it's all respect."
To say that Parsons hated on Jalen Hurts on "The VonCast" is a reach at best. He made things right by being a class act about the whole thing postgame.
If all goes according to expectations, the Cowboys and the Eagles will meet again in the playoffs.
In the first game (when Hurts played), Philly did a great job neutralizing Parsons as a pass rusher. It'll be fun to watch how he does on a bigger stage after getting a better idea of what will be thrown his way.
