He's a strong fit in a vertical passing game that prioritizes physical receivers capable of winning contested catches and making plays downfield.
Parker can immediately contribute as a starting X-receiver, using his frame to dominate outside, and eventually develop into a Pro Bowl caliber playmaker.
He would be a poor fit in a short passing, horizontal mesh scheme that relies heavily on quick-twitch, YAC-focused slot receivers.
Parker's combination of size, speed, and ball skills makes him a threat in any scheme that values a strong outside presence and contested-catch ability.
Selected #14 overall in Round 1 of the 2015 NFL Draft by Miami Dolphins out of Louisville.
