Newest excuse from DeVante Parker isn’t going over well with Patriots fans

New England Patriots veteran wideout DeVante Parker has been taking some heat for his odd explanation for dropping a beautifully thrown ball by Mac Jones in the final drive of last Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Initially, Parker said the ball was on his fingertips, which some took as him insinuating it was an overthrown ball by Jones.

After having a chance to watch the film, Parker was back with a different explanation this time around. Now, he’s saying his arm was grabbed by the defender.
