As reported on philadelphiaeagles.com: “Juqua Thomas has legally changed his name to Juqua Parker, something his late father requested of him years ago. “My father died in 2005, but before that he asked me to change my name to Parker. That was his last name. I just took a long time to get around to doing it. The name on my birth certificate was Juqua Thomas. I can’t figure out why. My mother married after she and my father split up and her name became Thomas. My dad wanted it this way and that’s why I did it.”

In related news, Reggie Brown is considering changing his name as well. Reggie has narrowed down his choices to Larry Fitzgerald, Roy Williams, and/or Chad Johnson.
