The 24-year-old Parsons was not the only passenger. A cornerback, Stephon Gilmore of the Cowboys, was also onboard the little plane as it flew over Seattle.
Brandin Cooks captioned the opening video, “They need to let me do the flyover for the National Anthem.”
He included the video clip that showed his teammates saying, “They let the wrong ones in the sky.”
The 32-year-old Gilmore has yet to participate in a preseason game for the squad. Cooks and Parsons are traveling together.
After losses to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Seahawks in the preseason, the Cowboys are currently 0-2 overall.
The three may play in their last preseason game on Saturday at home against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Dallas will play the New York Giants in their season opener on September 10 at MetLife Stadium.
