Former Giants WR And Fan Favorite Preston Parker Arrested For Alleged Cocaine Possession
PFT- It’s been nearly 30 days since a current NFL player has been arrested, an impressive offseason development. Earlier today, a former NFL player found himself on the wrong side of the police-car glass. Via PalmBeachPost.com, former Buccaneers and Giants receiver Preston Parker has been arrested for felony cocaine possession, the display of a weapon during the commission of a felony, and destruction of evidence. Undrafted in 2010, Parker spent time with the Bucs, Saints, and Giants. He was cut last September due to a chronic inability to catch the football. During his career, Parker caught the ball 85 times for 1,054 yards and five touchdowns.
Talk about an all-time rough year for your boy Preston Parker. First he was given a job he was wildly unqualified for (catching passes in an NFL game). Next, the guy the Giants cut instead of Parker (James Jones) went on to put up almost 900 yards and eight touchdowns in Green Bay. I am pretty sure that every single time Preston Parker dropped a pass last season, the name James Jones became the number one trending topic on Twitter in New York. And the quickest way to find out that James Jones did something good was if your timeline was flooded by Giants fans tweeting some combination of “Fuck Preston Parker”, “Fuck Jerry Reese”, “Preston Fucking Parker”, or “Jerry Fucking Reese”. Luckily Jones went from the guy the Giants cut for Preston Parker to the asshole wearing a hoodie during games. But the damage was already done. Oh yeah and then Parker got cut after two games and now has been arrested.
And if all that wasn’t bad enough, this is Pro Football Talk’s headline about Parker’s arrest.
If you are a former New York athlete and you can’t even get your name in a headline about a drug arrest, what was it all for? Preston Parker somehow dropped the ball yet again.
