Both super impressive athletes for sure.
I'm leery of taking Parsons and I'm a huge PSU fan who has watched Parsons play football since he was a kid in Harrisburg.
Oweh is a grab and stash guy for a team who can afford to wait a couple years.
Toney may be a pretty good OLB in a year or two as well.

This is the record board in the PSU weight room for LB's and DL. Numbers the last couple years for Penn State players (Saquan, Gesicki, Hamler, Apke, etc.) that performed really well at the combine aligned with what they had posted as official results at Penn State.

Now official time is 4.38 which is still ridiculous. I think this moves him back into top 10. Wonder if cowboys has representatives there.
Ive had Parsons right there around 10 before he ran this,, that speed moves you up boards, doesnt matter if some dont like him,,, lol
Thats crazy big speed.

Tacking on my .10 seconds for pro day times and that still has Parsons under 4.5. For his size that is an absolute joke.

Best defender in the draft IMO...and if the off the field stuff checks out I'd take him over Surtain 10 times out of 10.

The "official time" will be from the combine

A lot on here know I’m on the parsons bandwagon. I think people have to realize too. Linebacker is a big need. We could be looking at 3 new starting lbs next season. Vander esch option may not get picked up. Jaylon needs to prove himself or he’s gone and Neal on a 1 year deal. It’s a bigger need than people see. Cb and lb are huge.

As I have said a few time around here, I wouldn't be upset with Parsons at all, just depends how the tide turns with these early picks.

They were expected to test real well, the big question now are they more athletes then football players?

After seeing their testing numbers, I'd say that's an easy answer. They're both significantly better athletes than they are football players at this point in their careers.

all I wanna know can he tackle and does he have high FB IQ? If so, I might be back in on him.

I hope he’s the pick if Pitts is gone. It’ll be a tough pick if Slater is there. I like those 3 and not sure what to do outside of that.

Unless they installed a fully automatic timer like they have at the combine I would ignore all these 40 times. The guy could be a legit burner or the schools might have it setup so they run slightly downhill or they mark off 38 yards.. What was the school that caught doing that recently? It's why they need the combine in the first place. Too much home cookin goin on at on campus workouts.
