Parsons will struggle…expect the same struggle from our first round pick LB Davis

The difference being the knock on Parsons is his coverage skills, not that he cannot develop them, but that is considered one of the strengths for Davis. Parsons is a more natural pass rusher so he will likely get more splashy highlight stats like sacks and pressures which will keep him high in the minds of DROY voters.
