Parker, Martin Richmond 6021 303 5.03
Four-year starter. Was voted defensive MVP in the Shrine East/
West game where he had two sacks and a forced fumble. Plays
high and narrow based but is slippery. Uses the arm over move
but will need to change up on Sundays. Needs to work on more
consistency using his hands. Has good arm length for the position.
Very productive with 96 tackles and 5 1/2 sacks in 2010. He
averaged 8.7 tackles per game. Active would be an
understatement. Made 13 tackles against Delaware. In 2009 he
made 75 tackles, including 15 1/2 for loss. Has developed a
pattern of success with effort. Sudden first step. Good instincts
and awareness to quickly locate the ball. He can defeat a block
at this level, but will need to play lower with hip flexibility to
leverage blocker. Has the foot quickness to move and free himself
from a block. Good effort, angles, and desire to finish pursuit. A
wrap up tackler. Aggressive press and bull rush to press the pocket.
Relentless in his play. Will need more technique development on
his hand use. Will upgrade a current team backup and fit into a
rotation once his toolbox is in order.
