BIOGRAPHY

Will Parks born on July 29th, 1994 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is a safety in the NFL. 

The Denver Broncos selected Parks in the sixth round (219th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft. He was the 17th safety selected in 2016 and the second safety drafted by the Broncos, behind Justin Simmons. The Denver Broncos hired Vance Joseph as their new head coach and Joe Woods as their new defensive coordinator, replacing Wade Phillips. Parks was named the backup free safety behind Darian Stewart to begin the regular season.

On October 30, 2017, Parks earned his first career start and recorded two solo tackles during a 29-19 loss at the Kansas City Chiefs. In Week 15, he started at strong safety after Simmons had been placed on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain. Parks went on to make a season-high seven combined tackles in their 25-13 win at the Indianapolis Colts. The following week, he collected two combined tackles, defended a pass, and intercepted a pass attempt by Kirk Cousins in the Bronco's 27-11 loss at the Washington Redskins. Parks finished the 2017 season with 51 combined tackles (36 solo), four pass deflections, and an interception in 16 games and four starts. He started three games at strong safety and appeared on special teams and as an extra defensive back during dime packages. In their first season under head coach Vance Joseph, the Denver Broncos finished last in their division with a 5-11 record.

He signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2021.
