Parkinson's career-best 2025 stats raise breakout questions after five seasons in Seattle.

After five seasons as a rotational player with Seattle, Parkinson posted career-best numbers in starts, snaps, targets, receptions, yards, touchdowns, and catch percentage in 2025. The source questions whether this represents a true breakout or his ceiling as a pro. He came out of college as a receiver-first tight end, was TE#3 his first three seasons in Seattle, but usage increased each year; by 2023 he was on field for nearly 50 percent of snaps as TE#2. He shows good hands, ability to box out smaller defenders, crisp route running, and is now visibly bigger than when he entered the league.
