Sonoran Hot Reads: Arizona NFL Draft hopefuls visit various teams

Will Parks seems likely to get drafted at this point

It's NFL Draft season, and several former Arizona Wildcats are travelling around the country, meeting with various teams as they look to either get drafted, or get a training camp invite as an undrafted free agent. One guy who looks like he's moving up draft boards for teams is William Parks. The defensive back has taken several visits already, and he tweeted out that he'll be meeting with the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers this week
