[dbackjon]

09/10/2008) NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee Titans added former Northern Arizona quarterback Preston Parsons to the practice squad Wednesday to replace Ingle Martin, who signed with Kansas City. Parsons played at Northern Arizona from 1998-01 and has been with the Arizona Cardinals (2002-03), Houston Texans (2004-05) and Denver (2006-07) in the NFL.
Parsons led the NAU squad to NCAA I-AA playoffs during his senior season and finished his career seventh on the NAU passing charts for passing yardage, passing attempts and pass completions. A native of Beaverton, Ore., Parsons threw only three interceptions in 296 attempts during the 2001 season (0.101) and had a streak of 158 attempts without a pick before an interception at Sacramento State. He posted a career-high 19 touchdown passes to just three interceptions in 2001.

Parsons represents the only former Lumberjack currently with a NFL organization. Paul Ernster was recently cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers and Keith O’Neil retired from the New York Giants last spring.

Parsons is one of five former Lumberjack quarterbacks who have played in the NFL. Overall, sixty-eight former Lumberjacks have played professional football after playing in Flagstaff.
