WATCH: Trevon Diggs, Micah Parsons' sons steal show at Pro Bowl Games
The NFL’s biggest stars are in Las Vegas for the Pro Bowl Games this week. Following in tow are some of the next generation, including the sons of Dallas Cowboys stars Trevon Diggs and Micah Parsons.
The Cowboys social media team filmed an adorable interview with Aaiden Diggs and Malcolm Floyd Parsons ahead of the big flag football game on Sunday. During the interview, the two youngsters shared highlights from their experience at the Pro Bowl, including meeting NFL stars like Kirk Cousins, Ja’Marr Chase and Jalen Ramsey.
Trevon Diggs’ son also revealed that his favorite NFL player is none other than his uncle, Stefon Diggs. Also a big fan of Justin Jefferson, Aaiden Diggs said, “They’re both No. 1. They’re really good and they have a lot of personalities and they’re just really good football players.”
Aaiden and Malcolm finished the interview by showing off their favorite touchdown moves, naturally including the griddy, which was made famous by Jefferson.
Aaiden Diggs is Trevon Diggs’ first child, born in 2016. Malcom Parsons is Micah Parsons’ first of two children. They welcomed a baby girl to the family ahead of the Cowboys’ win over Tampa Bay in the first round of the playoffs.
Diggs, Parsons make second Pro Bowl appearances
Trevon Diggs and Micah Parsons both earned the second Pro Bowl bids of their career this year. They helped the Dallas Cowboys defense rank No. 1 in takeaways in 2022.
Diggs is eligible for an extension on his rookie contract this offseason. Although he led the league in interceptions in 2021, he had just three in 2022, along with a career-high 59 tackles. He signed a four-year deal worth $6.3 million after coming out of Alabama as one of the top defensive back prospects in his draft class.
Parsons is just two years into his rookie deal. He signed for $17 million but he has a much bigger payday coming if he keeps up his production in the pass rush.
