Overall

Parkey will draw interest from NFL teams due to his performance on kickoffs, after ranking third in the nation on touchback percentage in 2013. However, his leg strength has yet to translate into field goals, as he's made just one kick beyond 50 yards and shown inconsistent accuracy from beyond 40. He'll need to show significant improvement on his deep field goal accuracy in order to earn a starting job in 2014.
