Anthony Lawrence Parker (born November 21, 1989) is a professional Canadian football wide receiver for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL). In the CFL’s Amateur Scouting Bureau final rankings, he was ranked as the second best player for players eligible in the 2011 CFL Draft, and first by players in the CIS. On December 17, 2010, it was announced that Parker was one of two CIS players to be named to the East–West Shrine Game.
Parker was drafted 3rd overall in the first round of the 2011 CFL Draft by the Calgary Stampeders after Calgary traded up to be in a position to draft him. He was later signed to a contract with the Stampeders on May 20, 2011.
