By the beginning of the 1987 NFL season, Parks was working as a Pizza Hut delivery driver. With the majority of NFL players choosing to walk out after the second game of the season, Parks became one of a large number of replacement players, joining the San Francisco 49ers. He made three appearances for the team before the regular players returned for the sixth game. The three games, against the New York Giants, the Atlanta Falcons and the St. Louis Cardinals were all wins.[5][6][7]
