Freddie Parker, Don King (defensive back)

( Back to TM:TDYK )

( Article history links:

... that Freddie Parker and Don King each played one game for the Green Bay Packers as replacement players in 1987 before being injured and never playing in the NFL again?

Source: Parker injury + one game / King was placed on injured reserve (i.e. he was injured) and played one game - also, both of their games were during the 1987 NFL strike (weeks 4 to 6), meaning they were replacement players

Freddie Parker new enough (expanded Jun 12), long enough (2200 B), well-sourced, no copyvio. Don King new enough (expanded Jun 12), long enough (3100 B), well-sourced, no copyvio. Hook verified, and hook is interesting because it's weird that it happened twice. Good to go. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 05:08, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
