DeVante Parker
You’ll hear this name a lot as the draft approaches. DeVante Parker was a former team-mate of Teddy Bridgewater at Louisville. Any time you can bring in players that already have chemistry developed, it is worth giving attention.
Recently, draft analyst Mel Kiperpredicted that Parker will be picked by Minnesota.
“Teddy Bridgewater showed he can be the long-term answer at quarterback if his development continues, and while there are also questions along the offensive line, Parker is a tantalizing talent at this point, as I think some teams will have him graded as the best receiver in this draft class once they’ve wrapped up evaluations,” Kiper wrote. “This is A.J. Green lite, and he’s notthatlite. Parker doesn’t just have the leaping ability and length to go up and get it and beat even longer defensive backs at the catch point, he can create space with his short-area explosiveness underneath. Teddy needs another weapon. Here he is.”
