Second of all, I see Parsons as being very similar to Navarro Bowman pre-injury. I think Parsons best position is absolutely Off ball LB in the NFL but can, imo, play OLB Well now I'm really confused because I don't know why you would even bring up Parsons as an Edge at all in that case.

I'm simply saying in the NFL, who knows what a coach will do. Having said that, when I said Edge that was a mistake. I was referring to him as being used outside. But I could see an NFL coach trying to force him to be a 4-3 End which would be a major mistake. Edited March 28, 2021 by wwhickok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like saying you could see a team using Zach Wilson at safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always one. But you're right that was a little misplaced. I was tired last night lmfao. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the different side of the ball. Parsons came to PSU as a defensive end. LBer is also front 7 on defense. Will he play end? No. But could he be used to rush off the edge on passing downs or long to go situations on a four man line? He very well could. A creative defensive mind may use him there. But he will not play every down 4-3 end. His arms are too short and he hasn’t played it in years. But come on. WW saying that is nothing like saying a team could use Zach Wilson at safety.

Or #1 depending on the recruiting site. “The 5-star prospect is the top-ranked player from his home state, top-ranked weak-side defensive end in the nation and fourth-ranked overall player, per 247sports.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the NFL teams typically look for a certain type but purely size wise, Parsons does have the size and athleticism for 4-3 DE. Having said that I think off ball LB in a 3-4 is his best fit.

MWil23 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 TL;DR Oweh is the 3rd best pass rusher on his own college team...which didn’t exactly perform well this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantZombie Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I do think Oweh can have a role in the NFL. I do not think he ever develops into a premier player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
