Parcells and Sparano work out Hakeem Nicks
Per Edgar Thompson of the Palm Beach Post, Miami Dolphins VP Bill Parcells and coach Tony Sparano headed north to Chapel Hill, NC for a private workout with some Tar Heels' players including WR Hakeem Nicks. It is uncommon for Parcells to take a road trip for private workouts.
As Keyshawn Johnson recently pointed out, Parcells prefers bigger receivers unlike Ted Ginn Jr., who is currently the top receiver on the team's depth chart. Nicks is a big receiver (6'0 3/4", 216 pounds) that would fit the mold of what Parcells likes in a receiver.
Nicks had the best game of his career in his last collegiate game, the Meineke Car Care Bowl - 217 receiving yards and 3 TDs.
However, Nicks may not be available when the Dolphins pick at 25 at next month's NFL draft. Some mock drafts have Nicks going to the Jets at 17 or the Bears at 18.
Even if Nicks is still on the board at 25, Johnson doesn't believe that the 'Fins will use their first-round pick on a receiver. There is a good chance the Dolphins will address other areas, such as CB and OLB, in the first round.
As Keyshawn pointed out, the Dolphins are likely to target Cal Poly WR Ramses Barden, an even bigger receiver who is projected as a third-rounder.
