Parker doesn’t get that talent only cracks the NFL door open
It took Parker 3 years to be professional enough to drink fluids before practice
DeVante Parker, ‘Mr. I don’t eat or drink fluids before practice’ is at it again. This time it isn’t a drinking, or lack of drinking, problem. No, he has that ‘advanced knowledge’ down now… finally. But the root cause for most of his issues is the same: lack of professionalism.
Despite Adam Gase saying, ‘he’s happy with Parker so far this preseason’, former Dolphins Chris Chambers thinks all is not right with the former 1st Round Pick. And after hearing what he had to say, neither do I.
You’d figure if a Pro Bowl player at your position called you several times offering to help you out, and you were struggling, that you’d leap at the chance to get help. Not Parker. Chambers said he reached out to Parker “several times to offer my assistance to speed up his growth curve,” but never heard back from him.
Chambers continued, “He was even seeing my secret weapon (extremity expert) Dr. Peter Marciante Chiro to help with his health but he didn’t stay consistent to see the benefits through the course of an NFL season,” Chambers said. It was just for “a couple visits.’
A knucklehead is as a knucklehead does.
Those who try to help and teach Parker must feel like this
Chambers described the difference between the pro and non-pro mindset, “Guys like Antonio Brown pride themselves on keeping themselves in top condition with nutrition therapy and training, plus adequate rest and recovery tools… I don’t think he has developed a consistent routine and the right team of doctors and trainers to help him get to that level. I would love to offer that plus my guidance.”
You’d think with all his struggles that Parker would be sprinting to any help offered? He appears oblivious to the obvious: everyone sees his issue but him.
This was a real bomb by Chambers, “I don’t know if he fully gets what it means to be a pro… talent only last so long. Hard work, dedication and technique will take you a longer way when you add it on top of talent.”
Parker is missing something in his heart or head…
It’s one thing to not know something. Everyone needs to learn… Although not knowing that you should drink fluids before a practice in South Flordia sun is very, very bad. Let me reiterate…. very, very bad. But to not respond to a possible mentor to gain help or wisdom or even just out of courtesy says something very deep about Parker’s character: ignorance, pride, or stupidity.
We would hope that Chamber isn’t telling it exactly as it is. But history and some facts within his story put the ball in Parker’ court.
Given this is his 4th season, the likelihood that these flaws change is low. Maybe he’ll go unscathed this season… maybe not. It’s not a winning bet he does with the pay per head reviews like AcePerHead.com that’s for sure. Either way, Parker is exactly the kind of player that Miami doesn’t want going forward. At this point, it would seem like he has these bad traits hardwired into him. He can always change this narrative though… Right?
