Miami Dolphins expect teams to ‘fear’ a now-healthy DeVante Parker | Miami Herald (via http://ble.ac/teamstream-) http://teamstre.am/1XVvNkn

The Dolphins expect him to — in a variety of ways. Parker has been asked to learn every receiving position on the field — including the slot.

The prospect of matching up a 6-foot-3, 218-pound receiver who can jump out of the stadium against a nickel corner has to be tantalizing for Adam Gase and Ryan Tannehill.

“I expect big things out of him. I’m expecting him to be a heck of a football player, a guy that other teams fear, because he can make big plays down the field, inside,” Tannehill said. “He’s a big-bodied guy. He’s a guy we’re going to want to use in the red zone, on third downs and to stretch the field as well.”

Win, Lose, or Tie, I will be a Dolphins Fan Until I Die:up:

They won't fear him until he proves they need to fear him at this level. A few flashes last year is not keeping any DC awake at night.

Wow. The Herald web site is brutal. I don't have the patience.

I think we all have reason for optimism that he could turn into a playmaker that compliments but expands on what Landry can do on the field. Parker showed flashes of being that type of guy that can go and beat a defender for a ball to provide us that big play threat. WR is an area where we have zero concern about the talent at that position group.
