Parker eventually became a star in the National Football League, starting for the Brooklyn Dodgers who selected him during the National Football League Draft of 1937. He created impressive numbers as a player for several infield positions during his first years in the league. He recorded the highest passing yards in the 1938 season with 865 and improved more when Jock Sutherland became part of the Dodgers. With this new coach, Parker made 306 rushing yards and logged the highest points after touchdowns in the 1940 season. He continued to exhibit his great playing skills as a member of the New York Yankees and was named in 1972 to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He worked as a coach after he retired from playing.
