Micah Parsons has some new bling.
The star linebacker showed off a diamond chain replica of his No. 11 Cowboys jersey last week.
The pendant cost Parsons $50K, according to TMZ Sports. Parsons was seen wearing the piece during a photoshoot — over his actual Cowboys jersey.
The piece was created by Christian Johnston, the founder of Shopgld. Johnston has known Parsons since his Penn State days.
The chain and the pendant have a total of 30 carats of natural VVS diamonds.
“Micah has been working with me and Gld for a few years,” Johnston told TMZ. “We’ve actually made all of his jewelry and he’s become a great friend since we met about five years ago.”
Parsons took the NFL by storm during his rookie season, recording 13 sacks, 20 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles and 30 quarterback hits. He did it all while splitting time between pass rushing and playing linebacker. He was named the Defensive Rookie of the Year and finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting behind only T.J. Watt.
It’s a limited sample size, but Parsons’ future appears to be just as bright as the diamond jersey hanging from his neck.
