Arkansas' Nathan Parodi returns a punt for a touchdown during a game against UAPB on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021, in Little Rock.
It took a bowl game to make the interview with Nathan Parodi happen. I was afraid I might be his jinx to good health until there was finally a sit down meeting with the walk-on punt returner for the Arkansas football team.
The first try was a no go because of a concussion sustained against Mississippi State. That knocked Parodi out of the trip to LSU and gave Bryce Stephens a chance to return punts.
