Ezekiel Elliott sends stern warning to Cowboys rookie Micah Parsons

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott sent a hilarious warning to rookie linebacker Micah Parsons.

The Dallas Cowboys fans went through all the emotions in the first-round of the 2021 NFL Draft. After seeing the top cornerbacks get taken right before they were on the clock, the Cowboys traded down with the Philadelphia Eagles. Even so, the Cowboys still ended up with a hell of a player in Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons.

With Parsons entering the fray in Dallas, Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott sent out a stern but funny warning to the rookie — do not touch him in practice.

Parsons responded to Zeke, but didn’t give any guarantees.

Cowboys: Ezekiel Elliott sends out stern but funny warning to rookie Micah Parsons

The tweet was obviously made in jest, because Parsons has proven throughout his college playing that he is a ferocious tackler.

Parsons played in his freshman and sophomore seasons at Penn State, as he opted out of this past season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In those two years with the Nittany Lions, Parsons recorded 191 total tackles (18 for loss), 6.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, five defended passes and one fumble recovery.

The Cowboys needed to improve their defense that got run over by the opposition in 2020. While they did not land a cornerback to shore up their secondary, new defensive coordinator Dan Quinn now has another young linebacker to work with in Parsons, who will fill the void left by recently-retired Sean Lee.

While Elliott welcomed Parsons to Dallas, he wanted to let the rookie know that there is no tackling him allowed in practice.
