The one and only official account for Daniel Parker Jr. MizzouMade / University of Oklahoma Alumnus / Coach & Trainer #Godismywitness

A lot of my athletes ask me why I never made it to the NFL. While I have shared these messages on Instagram plenty of times, I feel it’s time to share this on Twitter as well. I want to start by saying this: very rarely does your athletic ability supersede your character.

[Gods Child @DanielParkerJr]

Mental toughness isn’t given and it doesn’t appear overnight—it’s built through discipline and adversity. The battle between the body and the mind is the hardest one to win, but once you conquer it, there’s no limit to what you can achieve.

Kansas City and surrounding area kids, I will be hosting training sessions again this summer. OL, TE and DL get with me if you’re just starting out or needing to fine tune the small details. DMs are open!

The #Sooners have some weapons with their TEs, not only in the passing game but in the run game as well with how well Parker & Willis are as blockers!

Watch Missouri transfer, Daniel Parker here bring his hips through on contact and finishes the LB into the turf. That’s nasty.

[Alex King @AKing_Evals]

Alright… last one of the #Sooners TEs but again here is Daniel Parker as a lead blocker. Look at the blow he delivers in the hole. And again… the finish into the turf. 42 had a tough day vs Willis/Parker.

Got to like seeing 22 celebrate the block after too. Mindset!

[Alex King @AKing_Evals]

A few plays later, nice work here from #Sooners OL on this 8 yard run by Major.

But look at TE Daniel Parker (22, lined up inline). Initially seals the EDGE before passing him off and then gets out and picks up the ps corner.

[Alex King @AKing_Evals]

Here’s #Sooners TE Daniel Parker again showing he’s an ext of the Oline as the lead blocker on this counter run. Love the way he explodes through contact, again bringing his hips. Excellent.

Chris Murray taking care of assignment as you see him gather & explode as well!

[Alex King @AKing_Evals]

👀 on #Sooners TE/HB Daniel Parker #22 here who comes across the formation connects on the DB and just torques him into the turf!

Farooq displays good contact balance and body control to stay in bounds before the burst to pick up an extra 15 yards or so.

[Alex King @AKing_Evals]

👀 on #Sooners TE Daniel Parker here, again on Overshown, just watch the finish on this block.

[Alex King @AKing_Evals]

Eyes on #Sooners TE Daniel Parker who brings the fight to Overshown exploding through contact and love the physical finish.

Also, more of Farooq packages to get him carries as well moving forward with what he showed Sat out of the backfield.

Thank God for the opportunities and doors that He opens for you. Always remain humble, thankful and never grow weary or spiteful. Always understand you’re blessed. God will protect you, thank Him for all He’s done and will continue to do! Stay still and know that He is God.

[Gods Child @DanielParkerJr]

We will make mistakes, but it is up to us to own them, fix them, and improve ourselves moving forward. It all starts with a look in the mirror. I say these things with love. Thank you.

Thank you, God. I am here. You continue to shape me, and I understand that life will always have its obstacles. But I now have a foundation of Christ, love, empathy, and discipline to fall back on each and every time a curveball is thrown.
