Overall
Colby Parkinson can use his size immediately in the NFL, hopefully whoever drafts him will utilize him in the RedZone since he is great at contested catches. He has strength to block and get off the line. Route running needs some work but he has improved since last year. Colby doesn’t have deep speed and a majority of his routes are short intermediate routes. He is looking like a 3rd round pick.
