DeVante Parker Is Watching Old DeVante Parker Highlights While Not Playing Much for the Dolphins

DeVante Parker was the 14th overall selection in the 2015 NFL Draft, but the rookie out of Louisville has struggled in his first season. He’s totaled just 4 catches and been targeted just 8 times in 8 games and did not step on the field last weekend. Things are so bad for Parker that he’s resorted to watching old Louisville game footage. Via the Miami Herald:

"Parker, who didn’t play at all Sunday according to nfl.com’s game book, said it’s easy to feel in the dumps because of his predicament these days, so much so that he has begun watching tapes of great catches he made at Louisville. The point? “To remind myself I can still make plays like that,” he said."

I wonder how many struggling players do something like this? I bet it’s a lot higher percentage than will ever admit it.
