Parish

Parish is a dual-threat player who is capable of playing on both sides of the ball. During his time at Houston, the rookie totaled 17.5 sacks and 34.5 TFLs but switched to fullback during the East-West Shrine Bowl. He’s an elite athlete who is a near lock to catch on with another team now that he’s been cut by the Jaguars.

Parish (6'0/241) converted from linebacker to edge rusher during his time at Houston, totaling 17.5 career sacks and 34.5 TFLs with the Cougars. An elite athlete who posted a 9.25 RAS at Houston’s pro day, Parish switched to fullback at the East-West Shrine Bowl but could play more of a hybrid role at the NFL level. He played only eight career snaps on offense but has ample experience on special teams. Don’t be surprised to see Parish line up at multiple positions throughout his career.
