efficient Memphis back with home-run receiving pop
In the 2003 season, Derron Parquet was a productive Memphis running back with 487 rushing yards on 95 carries for 5.1 yards per carry, plus 57 receiving yards and an eye-catching 19.0 yards per catch[1]. He profiles as a physical, versatile depth piece more than a touchdown finisher, and an old Memphis storyline even described him as a “freaking animal” in the backfield before injury interrupted that game[6]. If you want a runner who can create chunk plays and add value as a receiver, he’s intriguing; if you need a feature back who reliably closes drives, the stat line says otherwise[1].
