TJ Parker, 6'4", about 260 pounds, former high four-star.
00:05
Someone had him as a borderline five-star out of the state of Alabama.
00:08
Was in the same recruiting class, obviously, as Peter Woods,
00:11
who we are going to talk about a ton this summer as well as a potential top-ten pick.
00:15
I love the flashes of TJ Parker, Joe.
00:18
Like, the Pittsburgh game is the example, right?
00:20
Where it's just like, that's the game where first step, stab, long arm,
00:27
some flexibility in the lower half.
00:29
Like, all that stuff comes to fruition.
00:31
But this is mostly a power-based rusher.
00:33
He's not as bendy as a couple of the other guys that we've talked about on this list already.
00:37
But he's powerful, and he really does have a nice get-off.
00:41
Like, those things together, they work on the NFL level.
00:46
There's a game or two, though, where I watched, and I wanted a lot more, man.
00:50
Like, I just wanted more from TJ Parker.
00:52
He just wasn't as consistently dominant from a game-to-game perspective as I would have loved.
00:57
So, I love the tools, love the frame, the power, the length, the get-off.
01:02
It's all there, but I do want it to be a more consistent version of TJ Parker in 2025.
01:09
All right, spoiler, because we have to rely on, or we have to reveal where guys sit in our rankings.
01:17
Yes.
01:17
He is edge one for me.
01:19
He's my number one guy.
01:20
What?
01:21
He clears for me.
01:22
Dude, I'm...
01:23
Oh, man.
01:24
We're summer scouting.
01:25
I'm going to use your reference point every time that we do summer scouting.
01:30
It's the summer.
01:31
So, I am going to grab the flashes, the highlights, the insane highlights, and I'm going to latch on to those.
01:41
He has, like, the thickest amount of notes that I wrote on a guy for positives to touch on the negatives.
01:50
Absolutely, the inconsistency bothers me.
01:52
It does.
01:53
Because he disappears.
01:54
Like, let's be very clear.
01:55
It's not like, oh, yeah, no, he doesn't look right.
01:57
He disappears.
01:59
He doesn't show up.
01:59
There are a lot of games, Ryan, where he just, you don't see him for spurts.
02:05
But those flashes were the most out of any prospect that I, of these edge prospects, where I was like, whoa.
02:11
The pit game was the one that blew my socks off.
02:14
First game I watched him, I'm watching him.
02:16
I'm like, yeah, this is, you know, I can kind of see it.
02:18
The way that he gets off, he's got the fastest getoff out of any of the edge rushers, in my opinion.
02:24
I think that he plays very physically.
02:26
I think that he is, when he's on and he is playing with a clear plan, he's got really good hand usage.
02:34
Again, that doesn't happen often.
02:36
And I think that he also understands how to play with really good leverage as well to get underneath blockers.
02:42
All of that stuff, to me, translates to a guy who can be a 10-plus sack guy on a consistent basis in the NFL.
02:52
I would not be shocked, though, if we're not sitting here talking about him, kind of like we did James Pierce Jr.
02:57
this past draft, where we got excited by the potential, takes a hair of a step forward, but not enough for him to be the first edge taken.
03:08
I think TJ Parker, for me, is going to be the clearest guy.
03:11
This guy will go in the first round, no matter what, because he's that talented.
03:15
This guy will go in the first round, no matter what.
03:17
I think the field is my favorite guy.
03:18
I think the kid is right, and there is a aspect to him.
03:19
I know, do it.
03:19
This guy is really
03:21
truly a phenomenal part.
03:22
This guy will go in the first round.
03:24
It will take fall for this cutature.
03:25
Yeah, but I think it's pretty clear who holds inside.
03:30
This guy feels likeanne and sand on a, this guy lives prior to get more than the quarter tip of it.
03:36
This guy is in the Shawnfield.
03:37
So this guy is going to be fantastic, no matter what kind of thing we'll be doing with this bug.
03:39
I think is just helping this stuff down the way it looks more comfortable to get questions.
