While Kevin White, Chris Conley, and Darren Waller were vacuuming up most of the wide receiver buzz at the NFL Combine, DeVante Parker was no slouch. He confirmed his long arms, ran a 4.45 at 6’3”, and an above-average 36.5” vertical jump. Overall, Parker logged a +28% athleticism from his combine performance.
Production
DeVante Parker has the No.3 production score of major conference receivers in the 2015 draft class. He excelled at 18 years old and added three more above-average seasons in terms of weighted market share before entering the NFL. Tyler Lockett is the only other major conference receiver to sport that level of peak season and a four-year track record this year.
One great aspect of Parker’s production profile is his touchdown prowess. One ratio in the projection model is a receiver’s yards-to-touchdown ratio, then comparing that figure to the average drafted receiver. DeVante Parker has a +42% towards touchdowns, a positive indicator for his fantasy football future. Also, his 17.8 career yards-per-catch add to that profile as a big-play prospect, primed for the next level of competition.
