Linn-Mar grad David Parry has fooled the experts again.

The Indianapolis Colts have named Parry their starting defensive tackle heading into the 2015 season after selecting him in the fifth round of this year's draft.

Parry was considered too small to play major college football coming out of high school and did not get scholarship offers from Iowa or Iowa State. He began his college career at Stanford as a walk-on and became a major contributor for the Pac-10 power on the defensive line.

Some football experts thought Parry was too short at 6-foot-2 to be a defensive lineman in the NFL, but now he's cracked the starting lineup as a rookie and ready to prove the experts wrong again.
