Perry Jackson J . Parnel Jackson was a professional football player who spent three seasons in the National Football League with the Providence Steam Roller in 1928 , 1929 and 1930 . Jackson won an NFL championship in 1928 with Providence . Right name , wrong player ? According to an article by the Professional Football Researchers Association , Jackson played for the Boston Bulldogs in 1929 . However he was listed as a player on the field named " Arnie Shockley " . Jackson , a teammate of Arnie Shockley ' s from Southwestern Oklahoma State University , used Archie ' s invitation to try - out for Boston . According to Jackson , he was disappointed when he didn ' t receive an invitation to try - out for any professional team after playing college football . However Arnie Shockley did receive an invitation to try - out for the Bulldogs . Shockley decided not to go to and Jackson saw this as an opportunity to try out for a pro team . He went to the camp , assumed the name of his teammate Shockley , and made the team , playing that year under the alias " Arnold Shockley " . The only problem with his story is that Jackson was supposedly playing for the Providence Steam Roller from 1928 – 1930 . However the biography on Arnold Shockley for the SWOSU Hall of Fame states that he played for Providence for four seasons . Also the stats for Perry and Shockley appear to be same . This sets up a controversy to determine which teams Shockley and Perry each respectively played for , especially since Perry is credited with winning an NFL title in 1928 . In trying to clear up the mistake in identity of the players , Bob Carroll , also of PFRA , states that the real Jackson , under the alias Shockley , played for Providence , while Shockley , using Jackson ' s name , played for the Bulldogs .
