2018 fight with teammate, started when Parsons came into the study area and poured water on him and his laptop. Was so intense, punching and choking, that teammate pulled a knife on Parsons to end it. Then Parsons didn't cooperate with police and claimed Coach James Franklin told him not to talk to police.
2016, Parsons came into high school cafeteria and called out a teammate from across the room, started a fight that turned into a riot. Race card was played and apparently it was all from some stupid girls' social media post.

Enough for half of the teams to take him off their draft boards.
There is a lot of risk.
He also sat out last season.

I don't see anything in that article that says Parsons didn't cooperate with the police. I do see that his teammate alleged that the Coach told him (Humphries) not to talk to the police...
I don't see anything alarming in either incident.

Half the teams? Sweet, then he will definitely fall to 19.
A lot of players sat out last year due to COVID including Ja'Marr Chase, Penei Sewell, Rashawn Slater, Gregory Rousseau, Rondale Moore, Caleb Farley, all of whom will likely be selected in the 1st round.

Didn’t know all this
Gotta remember these days, inciting a riot is ok depending on what kinda riot

Tough call on Parsons. I wouldn't trade up for him, but if those were the only things, and Rivera feels comfortable with him, I'd gladly take him at 19.

Pass on Parsons.
And I would be surprised if we weren't one of the teams who took him off their board
