Memphis’ Parham Selected in Third Round of NFL Draft by Las Vegas Raiders
Apr 29, 2022 | Football
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – University of Memphis football offensive lineman Dylan Parham was selected with the 26th pick (90th overall) in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday night.
With Parham's selection, the Tigers have now had at least one student-athlete taken in nine-straight NFL Drafts. Memphis has had 14 total players selected in that span.
Parham established himself as one of the best offensive linemen not only in the AAC, but in the nation in 2021, earning First-Team All-AAC accolades. He started all 12 games for the Tigers at right guard, not allowing a single sack in 545 pass protection snaps. In total, Parham only allowed two quarterback hits on the year.
In his career, Parham started all 50 games in which he appeared for the Tigers. In 2018, Parham was a member of the offensive line that blocked for unanimous All-American and current LA Rams running back Darrell Henderson, who rushed for 1,909 yards. In 2019, Parham and the offensive line paved the way for FWAA Freshman of the Year winner and current Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell, who totaled 1,456 rushing yards and 610 yards receiving.
