Just a day after his trade from the Dallas Cowboys, Micah Parsons has made his first major decision as a member of the Green Bay Packers. A new era has begun for the star pass rusher.

Parsons is ready to make history with the Packers. Now, he has made his first big decision with his new club: leaving the number 11 behind and selecting a new jersey number in Green Bay.
