PLAYER ANALYSIS
He'll be listed as a tight end, but he's a big receiver who can be released into routes as a wingback, slot or wideout. He was much more productive in the red zone in 2018, but he didn't always have functional throws to work with. He runs well for a pass-catching tight end and has the athletic traits to attack on all three levels. He's almost automatic on the easy catches and has ball skills to rescue some of the harder ones. Teams looking for him to check the run-blocking box will need to keep it moving. Parkinson may be a little polarizing, but appears to be a field-stretching flex tight end with above-average playmaking ability down the field and near the goal line.
