Is This DeVante Parker’s Last Stand?

If Devante Parker were to dedicate a hip-hop track to himself for the 2018 NFL season, he might well choose Tupac Shakur’s ‘All Eyez On Me’. The young man from Louisville, Kentucky, the fourteenth overall pick of the 2015 draft, remains dogged by unfulfilled expectations, not the least of which is probably his own. He has been, by any measure, a disappointment thus far, and he’d probably tell you as much himself. It’s not necessarily that 139 receptions for 1,908 yards and eight touchdowns are a bad thing, but you’d like to see that career total coming over two seasons, rather than the three that it’s taken him to amass those numbers.
