Micah Parsons isn’t healthy enough to play in the Pro Bowl, but the Green Bay Packers pass rusher may have stolen the show during the 7-on-7 broadcast on Tuesday night, February 3.
Parsons, riding an electric scooter while recovering from a torn ACL, provided plenty of comic relief as his NFC teammates edged the AFC 66-52.

Parsons apparently named the motorcycle Lightning McQueen after the main character from the animated Cars movie. He used the car to drive around and shoot video – calling his work “MPTV” – and even tried to line up an NFC offense and tie a flag before game officials shot down the idea.
“I just want to tell everyone that even though you may be injured, life is not going to be easy. [you want it to]”Understand that we’re still blessed,” Parsons told ESPN’s Laura Rutledge. “God still allowed us to be here and allowed us to bring the energy. We are all so lucky to be here and in each other’s company. These are the best players in the world and I don’t ignore that. So I’m just living in the moment, staying on my feet and enjoying myself. “
At the end of the interview, Parsons ran away to celebrate when NFC teammate Antoine Winfield Jr. intercepted him.
