Penn State LB Micah Parsons said he has talked with the Detroit Lions several times during the pre-draft process.

Footballguys View: Parsons certainly physically fits the bill as a top 10 pick, but there are some character concerns that could cast a shadow on his draft stock. Head coach Dan Campbell named Luke Kuechly, Brian Urlacher, and Lance Briggs as the kind of “core foundation” players as a possible tipoff that the team is looking at Parsons with the #7 pick.
