Parsons is big and physical, and he showed Thursday that speed is also part of his game.
The Lions return Jamie Collins Sr., Jahlani Tavai, Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Anthony Pittman at linebacker, and also brought in veterans Alex Anzalone and Shaun Dion Hamilton this offseason.
But Detroit also has the No. 7 overall pick in next month's draft, and improving their last-ranked defense from a year ago has to be on the mind of new general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell. Parsons could be a versatile plug-and-play guy who Glenn can be pretty creative with, given Parsons' skill set and versatility.
Parsons said he's talked to the Lions already a couple times in the pre-draft process, including the coaching staff Thursday.
"My versatility is going to come in handy," he said. "I played defensive end growing up pretty much my whole life, so rushing the passer has never been a problem. Obviously what I showed at Penn State going sideline to sideline has never been a problem.
"A lot of teams have been talking about first and second down having me go sideline to sideline and on third down having me go get the quarterback. So, I think I'm going to walk into a great position."
