It was another strong season for Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, who finished 2nd overall in voting for NFL Defensive Player of the Year behind San Francisco's Nick Bosa.
Parsons was also pictured at Super Bowl LVII last week hanging out with Von Miller, and naturally, people wanted to know about it.
“I don’t really think about it too much, I’m more of a childhood favorite person. So like when I see Von Miller I be like, ‘Oh, that’s cool.’ But no one got me more excited than when I met Steve Urkel.
“I met him at the Fanatics party last year. And I saw some pretty famous people, but when I tell you I saw Steve Urkel, I just dropped everything. I started impersonating him. … Of course I walked up to him and said, “Did I do that?” ...
“Family Matters was my favorite old-school show because it was like pure genuine comedy. Like, I genuinely know people out in the world and even some of my best friends are just that silly and clumsy like Steve. So it was my favorite. My friends aren’t that bad but they’re up there.”
For fans wondering why he wears jersey No. 11, he spills the beans:
“LaVar Arrington gave it to me. I was originally going to go to college and be like No. 23 and then LaVar was like, ‘Hey, I want to give you No. 11.’ Like, he passed it on to me. And no one had worn it since Brandon Bell and NaVorro Bowman, and I was like, ‘Okay, I’ll try No. 11.’ And then they gave me the name Sticks and it just stuck on me forever.”
