Cowboys’ Micah Parsons says Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott turned rookie dinner into a ‘big thing’- “Whole bill was $67,000”
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons recently gave an inside look at what rookie dinners are all about. In an interview with GQ magazine, the 24-year-old spoke about his offseason, the time he spent in Europe and his new clothing line with Hugo Boss.
He also did a short Q&A session where he was asked about the most memorable dinner he has had on the road as an NFL player. Parsons said that it had to be the rookie dinner during his first NFL season. He called it "one for the books", adding that quarterback Dak Prescott and former running back Ezekiel Elliott made the dinner a "big thing."
"The whole night [was memorable]. That was one for the books. Dak [Prescott] and Zeke [Elliott] made it into this big thing. They got whatever they wanted. It was great. The rookie dinner became a rookie party, so you definitely got your money’s worth, for sure. I paid a good part of it. I think the whole bill was like $67,000."
Which NFL city does Micah Parsons dislike?
In the same interview, Parsons spoke about his offseason travels, mentioning that he went to Lisbon and Madrid. He also said he hopes to go to Amsterdam and Africa one day. While he pointed out that Las Vegas is one of his favorite cities in the United States, he also noted that he's not fond of Miami.

According to the 24-year-old, the city is dirty and the locals aren't friendly.
"Miami. It’s really dirty," stated Micah Parsons. "The food is not really as great as people say it is. The people aren’t really that great. But a lot of people are attracted to it because…I don’t even know why people are attracted to it! It’s a finesse city. They’ll rob you! It’s a really grimy city, for real. I go maybe once a year if I got work down there. But I’m never the one to be like, “Let’s go to Miami!”
The bad news for Parsons is that the Dallas Cowboys will travel to Miami to play the Miami Dolphins on Christmas Eve this season.
