WR DeVante Parker

(You and CB Xavien Howard both had big games yesterday and it got me thinking about your guys’ daily battles and competition in practice, going back to his rookie season in 2016. I’m curious how your competition with CB Xavien Howard in practice has helped make you a better receiver?) – “We used to go at it like every day in practice and during (training) camp. That made us better. It just made us play harder in the games because he made it hard in practice. So that made the games a lot easier.”

(I was wondering when you were on the sidelines yesterday after all of those catches you had, did QB Tua Tagovailoa ever approach you in terms of what you were looking for with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and obviously the chemistry you guys have, kind of a learning moment for him there on the sideline?) – “Nope, he didn’t. He didn’t come to me.”

(After the game, TE Mike Gesicki was talking about how they kept playing man coverage on you and he was like ‘why do they keep doing it?’ Are you curious sometimes why teams play so much man coverage on you?) – “I’m not really sure but I think that team just has confidence in their defensive backs. We just try to do the best we can to get open.”

(One of the things I saw yesterday was that you actually passed WR Jarvis Landry in Dolphins receiving yards, which is kind of cool. I know you guys were maybe next to each other in the locker room or real close to each other. What’s your reaction to passing Landry, who is obviously one of the all-time great Dolphins receivers?) – “That’s something good but I’m not really focused on that. I just want to win games. That’s it.”
