KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- If Ron Parker was satisfied taking no for an answer, his playing career could well have ended in 2013, after he was cut by the Seattle Seahawks for the fifth time.
Parker persevered -- and now he is in his fifth season as a starting safety for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Parker will confront his past on Sunday night when the Chiefs face the Seahawks in Seattle. The Seahawks have mostly turned over their roster since 2013 and only a handful of Seattle players, including quarterback Russell Wilson, remember him as a teammate.
