Great Football Names!

[Big D]

As I was posting in another thread about a certain ex-coaches name I began to think to myself about some of the all-time great names in the history of football.

You gotta love guys with names like Knute Rockne , Dick Butkus, and Bronko Nagurski. They just sound like they were born to play football.

Are there any names of players that make you say "thats a cool name!" ?

This is actually an interesting idea for a thread.

A.J. Hawk, Champ Bailey (he had to play a sport), Bobby Blizzard, Gino Capone (maybe it's in his bloodline), Kris Magnum, Siddeeq Shabazz (maybe a complete Bad Azz).

I know most of these players are below average, but if they made plays the media would have a field day. If they someone made the Pro Bowl, they would be instant household names.
