Healthy, more emotional DeVante Parker is Dolphins' biggest X factor

DAVIE, Fla. -- The two most impressive catches of offseason practices this spring for the Miami Dolphins both involved DeVante Parker.

Last week, he beat the Dolphins' No. 1 cornerback, Byron Maxwell, for a leaping touchdown. Then on Wednesday, he caught a long touchdown pass over Xavien Howard despite a swarm of bees nearby.

But making highlight-reel catches is nothing new for Parker. It was the emotional reaction the receiver showed after those receptions that was a change from previous seasons.
