Moore: DeVante Parker 'Looks Like Mark Clayton'

wqam

DeVante Parker is a rookie yet to appear in his first training camp but that hasn't stopped glowing comparisons from spiraling out of Davie.

"I watch this kid and he looks like Mark Clayton," Nat Moore said to the Finsiders during rookie camp. "He caught everything in his range, has an unbelievable skill set and catches the ball out front, has got good, soft hands, and runs good routes. His future is unlimited. It's really up to him on how hard he's willing to work. One of the things I always talk to young people about is that remember how hard you worked  to get here. Don't forget that because you have to work twice as hard to stay here.

"He seems like a good kid with all the right makeup, all the right attitude. I watch him out there he's like a sponge, soaking up everything the coaches are giving him. I look for big things out of Mr. Parker."

Clayton, one of Dan Marino's favorite targets, was a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro.

Early indications are the Dolphins might've gotten a gem at No. 14 overall.
