Cowboys front office may worry about Micah Parsons’ training with pro boxer in painful body shot challenge
Micah Parsons is training away from the Dallas Cowboys this offseason.
After watching a startling video of the Pro Bowl linebacker trading gut punches, Dallas owner Jerry Jones and the Cowboys' coaches will probably want to get Parsons back in an NFL uniform as fast as possible.

Parsons went viral after a TikTok video surfaced of the three-time Pro Bowler punching and taking punches from boxer AJ Graham.
"Seeing if Micah Parsons can handle the body shot challenge," Graham posted.
After the 6ft 3in and 245lb Dallas rusher delivered a major blow to Graham's midsection, the boxer drew back and had to take a breather.
"Bruh was trying to log me off of existence," Graham wrote.

But Parsons appeared to be the match's loser, quickly tapping out after a second shot to his gut.
Parsons, who is highly active on social media, heard it from fans after he couldn't hold his weight against the smaller Graham.
"LOL, dude literally half his size," a fan tweeted. "Tells you good punching technique > size and strength."
"Love how much this shows boxing and striking are technical and not just strength," a second fan posted.

"It’s all about the placement of the punch," a third fan wrote.
Parsons got in one good shot, then his second had less impact.

When it was Parsons' turn to take his second blow, the loud-talking Cowboys rusher decided he'd had enough.
Parsons shook his head, laughed and walked away.
"Best go back and take his second shot like a man," a fan said.
Graham won the body shot challenge.
Parsons is a better attacker when he has pads on and the star on his helmet.
The Cowboys might want to step and protect their star linebacker when he's training outside the lines.
