RJsackedagain Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'm guessing Donahoe didn't get this guy for the debate team: Mental capacity a concern; scored a 10 on Wonderlic Test. From ESPN insider take: Strengths: Explodes off the line, has the quick first step to drive defenders back and can get open quickly. Plays with good toughness, isn't afraid to go over the middle and has shown the ability to hang onto the ball after taking the big hit. Can catch balls thrown outside frame and rarely drops passes that should catch. Has great speed and shows a second gear when tracking the ball downfield. Shows outstanding change of direction skills, has the elusiveness to make multiple defenders miss in the open field and is always a threat to make a big play after the catch. Is a very dangerous return man and should make an immediate impact on special teams. Regained starting job after losing it early last year and has shown good perseverance. Weaknesses: Is vastly undersized, lacks the height to compete for jump balls downfield and isn't much of a threat in the vertical passing game despite speed. Lacks the wide frame to shield defenders from the ball and isn't much of a red zone target. Has some problems getting a clean release working against press coverage and physical corners will have success muscling him out of routes. Lack of prototypical size makes durability a significant concern and had some problems staying healthy at the collegiate level. Mental capacity a concern; scored a 10 on Wonderlic Test. Overall: Parrish red-shirted in 2001. He returned punts and started three games at WR in 2002, catching 14 passes for 271 yards and one touchdown. He provided excellent depth and returned punts in 2003, finishing with 24 catches for 322 yards and two touchdowns. He moved into the starting lineup in 2004 and finished the season with 39 receptions for 630 yards and eight touchdowns. Parrish also returned 17 punts for 252 yards and one touchdown last year. Parrish is extremely undersized and, as a result, he may never develop into an outside starter. However, Parrish has the potential to develop into a sure-handed and shifty slot receiver that can also contribute as a punt return specialist. As a result, Parrish grades out as a second or early-third round prospect in the 2005 NFL draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonabb Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I have railed against dumb players on many occasions in the past, mainly due to stupid mental errors above all bad penalties. I hate mental errors. I would prefer, like in the real world, a guy with brains that shows an ability to learn as well as skills. This guy scored a 10 on his Wonderlic.

Milo Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Who cares what his Wonderlic is? He's a WR; he doesn't have to be a genius. He has to get open and catch the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macdaddy Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Wonderlic? What's that got to do with returning punts? Billy 'White Shoes' didn't have a MBA. Anyway, I heard there were an excessive amount of trick questions this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckeyeBill Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I have to wonder why we picked a return guy when we have guys like Fast Freddie (1TD) and McGee (3TDs) returning the ball. That isn't even to mention Clements. Does TD think that Parrish can step in a be an amazing slot receiver. That's what I'm thinking. But why do you need an all pro wideout like Moulds, a fantastic 2nd receiver in Evans, and an amazing slot receiver.... when we are a RUN RUN RUN football team?

"our offense is weak, and lacks playmakers. we need to get some weapons" clearly they feel that the defense is ok, or can be addressed later in the draft. parrish is your playmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
