All three were successful projects that helped launch Parker from a position coach to a 34-year-old defensive coordinator for the Cowboys.
It begs the question: Who will his next project be? Could it be a first-round pick like LSU’s Mansoor Delane, or the Tennessee tandem of Jermod McCoy or Colton Hood?
Maybe the answer is already on the roster.
“I think he’s got one on the team he loves in [Shavon] Revel,” Cowboys co-owner Stephen Jones said from the NFL scouting combine this week.
It’s a name the Cowboys keep bringing up, indicating their high hopes for the second-year corner.
Revel’s rookie season was an interesting one. He didn’t practice with the team until October. He didn’t make his NFL debut until mid-November. Revel showed some flashes, but also some rookie struggles, especially when it came to zone coverage for a corner who thrived at East Carolina in press-man coverage situations.
