He had a great day yesterday at the Senior Bowl practice. No one stopped him.
Will is going to THRIVE when he's not double teamed on every snap. There isn't many NFL tackles who can deal with his speed on the edge.
Pittsburg with TJ Watt would be a DREAM destination for Will. I can't think of a better system for him to get to learn and develop than Tomlin's 3-4
At 6'3", a 7'10" wingspan would look ridiculous. His wingspan is still very big at 6'10"I don’t think weight is an issue. His special qualities are his quick twitch and his length (7’10” wingspan) and his production on a 3 man front in a premier conference. If he can run in the 4.5’s at the combine, he could very well be considered in Day 1 as he has a similar story to Haason Reddick who had a great Senior Bowl and combine and went up to being a first round pick. Will is currently a little bigger than him. And since Reddick has 19.5 sacks this year including playoffs, if I’m his agent that is who I am comparing him to for NFL Scouts. Parsons ran a freaky 4.36 in his 40 but Reddick, Von Miller, and Demarcus Ware were all similar size and ran in the 4.5 range and had similar college production.

I agree there's usually some upside there but unless the program or Will were doing the wrong things, I'm just not sure how that's going to happen and for him, I'm not sure it matters. He is and will be a pass rushing specialist. Obviously you always want guys to be as big and as fast as possible but it seems like he has a really hard time gaining weight.I mean in the NFL players have more time, resources and $ to use towards getting their bodies in optimal shape.
College diet plan is limited to what you are provided unless you can afford to buy extra stuff on your own.
Lol - why I hate typing on phonesAt 6'3", a 7'10" wingspan would look ridiculous. His wingspan is still very big at 6'10"
That’s a FG blocking specialist if I ever saw one. 20 year NFL vet.
Man, once he gets up an under the T his ability to keep leverage and balance, then explode, is high level NFL stuff.
And he'll become fat and sassy once he has that big contract.I think he'll put on plenty of good weight once he is on a NFL plan

Other than I hate the Steelers?Will is going to THRIVE when he's not double teamed on every snap. There isn't many NFL tackles who can deal with his speed on the edge.

What planet is Parsons from again?I don’t think weight is an issue. His special qualities are his quick twitch and his length (6’10” wingspan) and his production on a 3 man front in a premier conference.

Of course he gets picked with the 1st pick of the 2nd round, ha.Will is going to THRIVE when he's not double teamed on every snap. There isn't many NFL tackles who can deal with his speed on the edge.

Will's quick twitch is outrageous. I think he plays in the league for 8 years+
No not at all. NFL guys will hire full time nutritionists and chefs to make sure they are getting what they need.
