  Draft Scout by Conference









  At Penn State's pro day, linebacker Micah Parsons said he considered himself "one of the most versatile players in this draft." Parsons was talking about his ability to play any of the linebacker spots. But in an interview with the NFL Network's Kim Jones at Thursday's event, he ended up all over the field. Weighing in at 246 pounds, Parsons ran the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds at the pro day. "I feel like I really helped myself," Parsons said. "I think a lot of people had me like 4.5, 4.6 maybe. But I think I'm the fastest linebacker in this draft, and I really showed people how good I can move. I think a lot of people slept on that. They knew I was fast, but I don't think they knew I was that fast."

That led Jones to share that Penn State coach James Franklin had said Parsons could have been as successful in college at running back as he was at linebacker and been a top NFL Draft prospect as a ball-carrier, too. "You know, that kind of makes me upset," Parsons said, "because I told him to let me play running back. He wouldn't let me play running back. My true position growing up was running back, so you could have looked at me as a Derrick Henry, really..."I got some old clips I can pull up. In high school, I averaged 11 yards a carry, so I always had that nice little elusive stiff arm." - Birmingham News
