Talking Penn State Football History: Bob Parsons Tribute

This week we pay tribute to Bob Parsons, Penn State TE/Punter, who passed away on July 8, 2022. Bob played at Penn State from 1969-1971. He started out as a quarterback, but after John Hufnagel gained the starting job in 1970, he was moved to tight end.  He also carried out the punting duties. Bob had a great game in the 1972 Cotton Bowl against Texas which was a Penn State 30-6 victory. He was drafted in the 5th round of the 1972 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears and had a stellar career with them, mostly as a punter. Joining us are teammates John Skorupan, Tom Donchez and John Ebersole to talk about Bob as a teammate, friend and leader.
