Best football names ever

Mercury Morris couldn't have been anything but an NFL RB.

HaHa Clinton-Dix, especially considering that he was born the year before Bill Clinton was first elected president. Best NFL foreshadowing name ever?

Conrad Dobler ONLY could have been a ridiculously nasty O-lineman.

I always felt Guy Whimper was an unfortunate name. So ... NOT best names.

Sam Bam Cunningham was a great name, although I suppose that was including a nickname. But accurate to how he ran the football.

Quentin Jammer was a perfect name for a DB.

Just celebrated Presidents' Day, so Lincoln Kennedy gets a mention here.

Henry Hynoski is a great name for a fullback

.

.

Owagambe Odigizuwa (shame he never panned out)

Will get drafted this April.

Stalin, yes Stalin, Colinet. Played DL for the Vikings in the '90s.

.

Peerless Price
Sirr Parker
James Jett

.

.

.

all day.

but Buster Rhymes is awesome.

draft...

Tuf Borland.

Tank Carradine was also a good one that wasn't mentioned.

Bronko Nagurski was the first one I thought of before even opening the thread, that's an all-timer.

Sterling Sharpe is a smooth name that I don't think has been mentioned yet

Tinker Owens...

Bronko Nagurski - Big Blue 56

Regular guy, regular name and funny as hell

.

Red Grange...

.

was Steve Stonebreaker

Best return man name.

Fun Names to Say...spectacular players in their times.

JOHNNY UNITAS---just a SPECTACULAR Sound and Rhythm to that Name.

I can’t believe you left out Tuffy Leemans who is in the Giant’s Ring of Honor. You must be younger than I am. I attended the Giants-Brooklyn Dodger game on December 7, 1941 which was “Tuffy Leemans Day” (besides the start of WWII). Thus I’m sure I am older than you and almost everybody on this site.

Crazy Legs Hirsch (Elroy to his mother) has to be the best.

from the University of Mars.

Steaming Hot! - ( New Window )

.

will be drafted out of ND in two months.

"The Sheikh and The Beak."

AKA, Ali Haji-Sheikh and Joe Danelo.

the once had the all time fart related nicknames in baseball.

The best: Jimmy "the Toy Cannon" Wynn :-)

I thought Colt McCoy was a perfect name for a Texas QB

Also Beasley Reece

I used to get a kick out of Deron Cherry wearing a red helmet that looked like a giant cherry. Likely just me.

Owamagbe Odighizuwa 🎲
