1974 Profile: Bob Parrish

Defensive End
No. 74
Duke
"Parrish turned in a very promising preseason when a back injury in the final preseason game sidelined him. He was placed on the reserve list and returns this year to try again. He reported with a low weight for a defensive lineman, but by year's end he was back up in the 240s and should be able to maintain it. Parrish worked at both end and and tackle, but is thought of primarily as an outside pass rusher, which is his strength.
Drafted 13th in 1973, Bob majored in English and political science, and went on an NCAA-sponsored tour of Korea and Southeast Asia. He works as a public relations and recreation director for a resort hotel in Florida. He turned down a chance to go to Duke Law School to play pro football.
Bob's hometown is Jacksonville, Florida."
