FOXBORO -- When DeVante Parker came back to earth after soaring off two feet to make a catch in the back corner of the end zone, you could hear just how impressed Patriots quarterbacks were by the big-bodied receiver's hang time. High-pitched whoops mixed with laughter lingered in the air for about as long as Parker did.
It was one of several highlights for the new Patriots wide receiver during Day 1 of Patriots training camp practice Wednesday. Acquired from the Dolphins via trade this offseason, Parker spent time working on his craft with Mac Jones this offseason as he prepared to give his new team something it didn't have in 2021: a legitimate threat along the boundary.
