Heading into the final season of his rookie deal, Seahawks TE Colby Parkinson looks to build on his successful 2022 campaign with a stellar 2023 season and get paid next offseason – whether in Seattle or somewhere else.
It’s not often that the third tight end on the roster is a topic of conversation, but Colby Parkinson is in the final year of his rookie contract and could be poised to live up to his immense potential in 2023.
As a fourth-round pick out of Stanford in 2020, Parkinson was seen largely as a receiving threat – and what a giant target he is at 6’7. Over the years, he’s taken advantage of thestrength and conditioning program and added plenty of muscle to become a more well-rounded TE. Parkinson’s 2022 stat line might not be that impressive on first glance with 25 catches for 322 yards and 2 TDs, but that production dwarfed his first two seasons where he only had 7 catches for 49 yards and 0 TDs. However, the fact that he played in all 17 regular season games for the first time in his career might be the best part about Parkinson’s 2023 season considering he missed 13 games in 2020-2021 with various injuries.
With Parkinson finally staying healthy, he proved that he’s a mismatch to almost every defender opposing teams can throw at him. He’s fast enough to outrun opposing LBs and big enough to box out DBs in the red zone. Throwing to 6-foot-7 Colby Parkinson should be like stealing candy from a baby in the red zone with his size/speed/catch radius. This could be a precursor to seeing him get more targets inside the 20 moving forward.
