I just see a guy who has pretty much perfect reads and excellent hand usage to combat blocks. He's probably going to come off the field on 3rd downs, but I think he absolutely has a role as an ILB on neutral downs. He's a clean prospect who simply doesn't have sideline-sideline speed. Those guys are still valuable to gap-sound defensive teams, which appear to be going by the wayside anymore. I'm sure he'd be a stalwart on Special Teams as well.

Hunter2_1 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 So many mocks now have Parsons slipping. He was gold dust about 5 months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll go in the top 10 ultimately. I'd be surprised if he's not the #1 defensive player taken. Parsons has so many elite traits. What hurts him is that he is an OLB for a 4-3 scheme. I don't think those guys hold much value. I didn't think Simmons was worth the selection either. Regardless of how good those guys are, an OLB is not very important. I think he is one of those freak athletes that people will fall in love with though. And it's not like he's not a great player. He's a very good player that doesn't read at an elite level yet. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His positional value is what hurts him the most. I think he's going to be a stud. Could be the next Patrick Willis if he has the drive to be elite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsons is kind of a freelancer, in that he doesn’t really make guard reads. I think he’s gonna be an OLB as a result. But I still believe in him having a great pro career...just not as an ILB.

Parsons is kind of a freelancer He doesn't have the same background as Willis's either, I would pump the brakes on judging him as he has has only been playing linebacker for only 2 seasons. Also as far as the free lancer, he was probably given the autonomy to free lance by his defensive coordinator, and he was pretty dang good at it. I would look at the Ryan Shazier situation as a barometer to what Parsons could be, the both were defensive end prospects who converted to LB at the collegiate level and both have similar skill sets.

brownie man Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I see Peter Boulware in Parson and I’d love him on my browns. Run stopping OLB by day Pass rushing terror across from Myles at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Looks like Parsons essentially admitted to some of the stuff teams may have concerns about. Using being young as an excuse for his actions. He could just be referencing the Ohio State incident. “Obviously, people had some concerns about things that had happened,” Parsons said. “But at the end of the day, I was a kid. I was 17-18. We all made mistakes when we were 17-18. I’m not going to let it control or dictate the person I am now. I’m not going to let something that happened four years ago dictate who I’m becoming and the father I want to be.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
