Inconsistent: one word to describe DeVante Parker’s first four years in the NFL. Selected 14th overall in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins had high expectations on Parker, wondering if the former Louisville product can become an elite target for former quarterback Ryan Tannehill and former head coach Adam Gase.
The question was quickly answered, as Parker was a starter in just four games his rookie season, eight games his sophomore season, 12 games his junior season and seven games in 2018. Totaling nine touchdowns in four seasons, the Dolphins became frustrated with Parker’s play and on the edge of dealing the former first-round selection to a team desperately looking for a receiver.
