Micah Parsons will be a difference maker in Washington
Hogs Haven takes a look at 2021 NFL Draft prospects that could contribute to the WFT
Projected Draft Status: 1st Round
Player Comparison: Devin White
Player Overview
There was little doubt Micah Parsons would be an impact player in college football. Not only was he five-star recruit at defensive end, but he was one of the nation’s top-ten high school players. After Ohio State committed recruiting violations in pursuit of Parsons, he committed to Penn State. Once there, Parsons moved from defensive end to linebacker. Despite the moving to a new position and not starting, Parsons led Penn State in tackles with 82. He only got better in his sophomore season with his play earning him consensus all-American honors. Off the field, Parsons allegedly participated in hazing that resulted in a physical altercation. He has responded to this by saying that he has made mistakes in the past, but they do not represent the person he is
Skills Breakdown (out of 100)
Accuracy (71): Newman is a difficult evaluation due to the fact that he opted out of the 2020 CFB season. He transferred out of Wake Forest to Georgia, but never played a down there. He’s extremely raw and needed to improve in multiple areas before he could be considered anything more than a developmental project. Newman struggles with accuracy at all levels of the field. Struggles to hit his receivers deep downfield and often under-throws or misses them by 10 yards. Is able to hit the layup throws underneath, but struggles to give his receivers a chance if they’re in tight coverage.
