Selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft, Parsons was named Defensive Rookie of the Year and earned four Pro Bowl and three All-Pro selections in four seasons with the team. He was traded to the Packers in 2025 amid a contract holdout and signed a four-year, $188 million extension, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history at the time.
