One possible explanation for Dolphins WR DeVante Parker’s quiet season
The Dolphins still haven’t gotten much return on the first-round pick they spent on DeVante Parker. (Bill Ingram/The Post)DAVIE—This was supposed to be the breakout season for DeVante Parker. His rookie year with the Dolphins was hampered by his recovery from a broken foot, but he finished with 22 catches for 445 yards and three touchdowns over the final six games.
The optimism over what he might do in Year 2 was muffled by a hamstring injury, and apparently he has yet to return to normal. That might explain why he’s only got 23 catches (on 36 targets) for 295 yards and a touchdown. His last game, the win over Buffalo, was a three-catch, 20-yard performance.
