My bet though is that this guy has some kind of ability to change directions at top speed and that’s why some teams were trying to “reach” for him around where we picked. (Rumors)

I was on a national drafting chat when we were getting ready to pick and really wanted Parris and people in there were like he's pretty good but he can't hold a candle to Mecole when it comes to changing direction at full speed and then when the Chiefs took Mecole there was much gnashing of teeth from the fanbases who were sure their team was about to draft him.
I was sold that day and every clip of him I've seen absolutely demonstrates that ability. This is a particular talent that DK Metcalf, for instance, will never possess. He looks like a robot in slow motion making cuts compared to Mecole.
I still think Parris will be pretty good though.
