A local Pittsburgh paper has a glowing puff piece on Willie Parker. That's not news. The important nugget is that his coaches do not appear to be fans of the RBBC.
They want their best players on the field until their tongues are hanging out. Willie Parker, on the advice of Hines Ward, continues to work on blocking and receiving to make his case for third down yards where, as he points out, he could get to run against spread out defenses.
It's a pre-season love article, but the elements are there to like. It's more than 'best shape of his career' and 'line is really coming together'. It's coaches saying they want their best player on the field. It's Willie Parker working on blocking schemes.
The Mustard: Feel good about taking Willie Parker in the mid-first round. In addition to everything, he has two good years behind him and that makes him a safer pick than Addai and Maroney, though I really think Addai is pretty low risk for a sophomore back, but that's another article.
