NFL Draft: OU's Parnell Motley confident film and pro day will help overcome combine snub

NORMAN — Parnell Motley is choosing to stay optimistic.

Things haven’t always worked out for Motley, both during his OU career and in the three-plus months since the season ended.

In recent months, Motley was passed over the the NFL Combine and then the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the sports world.

The shut down changed the NFL Draft process and made it more difficult for players who weren’t invited to the combine to be drafted.

“I’m glad I still got Pro Day in and was able to show teams what I can do,” Motley said.
