I was sold that day and every clip of him I've seen absolutely demonstrates that ability. This is a particular talent that DK Metcalf, for instance, will never possess. He looks like a robot in slow motion making cuts compared to Mecole.
I still think Parris will be pretty good though.

Dk has a much higher center of gravity which is primarily determined by leg length. I’ve noticed we have drafted low center of gravity speed guys WHO are also built stout. And I think that’s a big factor. Many of these speed demon tiny guys are not built to hold up (like deanthony Thomas). Guys like ty Hilton seem to be rare exceptions.
