Coffee with the Chiefs – Ron Parker belongs at safety

The Ron Parker film reviewSeth Keysor of Arrowhead Pride

At the snap Parker immediately backpedals and gets some depth (which is Safety 101 if you’re not on a defensive call that requires jumping a short route).

But at safety, he moves very well backward and side to side while staying squared forward.
