Primed for notable rookie role
Parrish, whom the Buccaneers selected in the third round out of Kansas State in the 2025 NFL Draft, has worked his way into the Buccaneers' nickel rotation and is being utilized as a blitzer as well, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
There's been no shortage of accolades for Parrish, who played both left cornerback and in the nickel on third down in college while often working against some of the country's top receivers. Parrish recorded 23 pass defenses, including five interceptions, during his time at Kansas State, and he's been showing his closing pursuit on blitzes during camp. Additionally, Greg Auman of FOX Sports reports head coach Todd Bowles has taken note of how Parrish has shown impressively quick adaptability to the defensive scheme. "He's been good since the first day he got here. You correct him very little, and that's a scary thing, especially for me," Bowles said. "You tell him something one time and he's got it. He goes outside, goes inside, plays special teams."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could contribute as rookie
Parrish will compete for the slot corner role in Tampa Bay during training camp, Dan Pompei of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Tampa Bay has retooled its secondary this offseason, so there are a lot of questions about how the unit will look in Week 1. Tykee Smith is the incumbent as the nickel corner and will maintain a key role in the offense, but there has been talk of him taking over at free safety. The Bucaneers could also move Zyon McCollum into the slot after he played out wide for most of 2024. Parrish is undersized at 5-foot-9, so he's likely to only see the field if he can win the role in the slot, but there will be plenty of competition.
