KC Chiefs Best Fourth Round Picks of All-Time | Honorable Mention: Samie Parker

Although Samie Parker is by no means a top receiver all-time, he still had some productive seasons with the KC Chiefs. Parker only had 1,529 career receiving yards as a member of the KC Chiefs in his four seasons. In 2005 and 2006 he posted respectable season totals of 533 and 561 receiving yards, respectively.

The next year his season total dropped to 298 yards receiving in what would be his last complete season with an NFL team. From the 2008 offseason until August 26th of 2009, Parker signed for brief stints with the Denver Broncos, Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks, and Oakland Raiders.

Parker did not record any stats in these short roster stays, so he eventually played for the Las Vegas Locomotives in the United Football League’s inaugural 2009 season. The next year in 2010, Parker joined yet another professional football league and put up impressive numbers.

In 11 games as a member of the Arena Football League’s Chicago Rush, Parker recorded 1,135 receiving yards and 15 touchdown receptions in the 2010 AFL season. In 2011, Parker rejoined the Las Vegas Locomotives before trying his luck next season with the Canadian Football League’s Toronto Argonauts.

After being cut nine days before the 2012 CFL season, Parker returned to Kansas City to play for the city’s AFL team the Kansas City Command. Unfortunately, after finishing last place in their division, the Command folded after their final game in July of 2012.

In September of that year, Parker rejoined the Locomotives with no better luck. The Locomotives also became defunct after playing just four regular season games.

Luckily, after all this he signed with the AFL’s Los Angeles Kiss in their inaugural season of 2014. If his solid production as a member of the KC Chiefs didn’t make him worthy of a fourth round selection, then his determination and resilience certainly make up for it.
