[irishline]

haha thats great.

harry colon 6 seasons but age 41 is crazy too

He' played from 1991-97. Still listed in the player database. I didn't notice that, don't know why they just don't list them as retired.

You're right though it is funny to look at.

Johnny Unitas. Somehow deep down I still believe to be a successful quarterback in the NFL you need a real name. Anyone who drafts a guy named "Tim Couch" has to know he'll fail.

[DallasKnight]

Christian *the Nigerian Nightmare* Okoye

 

[hutch1254]

Golden Richards.

No doubt.

Also, Bill Bates... if you didn't know who he was it just sounds like someone who could lay the wood to somebody.

Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala
Obafemi Ayanbadejo
Manu'ula (Manu) Tuiasosopo

Sounds like a gunslinger out of an old western.

I suspect you mean Sonny Sixkiller who I believe never made an NFL roster.

According to Wikipedia he played several seasons with the Commanders.

I think that might be correct. I remember back in the late 60's or early 70's he was on the cover of SI and I thought they gave Sonny Jurgenson a new nickname until I looked closer.

Tatupu

As a young kid I was a Ram fan...and my QB was Roman Gabriel. Yes great name. (Though not much of a quarterback)

TJ Who'sYourMomma (Championship!)
Cedric Killings
D'Brickashaw Ferguson
Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (KGB)
Arnaz Battle
MacKenzie Hoambreker
Takeo Spikes



My favorite college name is Major Applewhite (***?! Cruel parents)

Cowboy Dan you've scored. I love Takeo Spikes and D'Brickashaw Ferguson.

 

[Jack-Reacher]

Na'il Diggs

Fun thread.

Great names and funny ones as well.

Nobody has mentioned Troy Polamalu. When sounding out his last name it can translate to spanish as "bad stick" and thats what he does.

Yancy Thigpen shoudl be mentioned on any list of NFL football names. If we're doing football/porn names, then Donald Driver belongs alongside Dick Shiner. And Kyle Sackrider (if that's a real player) might be the best football/porn name ever.

From the college ranks, there's Pat Angerer at Iowa who has a pretty cool pure-football name. Angerer. Not 'Pat.'

 

[T-RO]

Nobody has mentioned Troy Polamalu.

So-so name. Great hair.
