My Favorite NFL Player Names

Let’s face it: a lot of the world’s best names come from sports. Athletes from across the globe and Alabama compete together every day in our sporting arenas, often times with ridiculous names.

The NFL is the home of some of these ridiculous names, and I have selected an essential Pro Bowl team of names around the league. Other sports will follow.

    rimph RIMPH!

  2. chris

    If Brian Rimpf, Mike Rumph, Orlando Huff, and Orlando Ruff were on the same team, all hell would break loose.

  3. mac

    you forgot Atari Bigby, safety for the Miami Dolphins

  4. chris

    son of a bitch! thanks for the heads up

  5. drew

    How could you leave off Sam Gash?

  6. chris

    cuz he isn’t in the league any more

  7. ganderson

    How could you not have Dunta Robinson? (who should get bonus points for having his name pronounced Don-tay, like the writer of the Inferno)

  8. chris

    While Dunta is funny, he doesnt earn a starting spot over Rumph or Gay. No way.

    That, and there are a few other anomalies like that, like Andra (And-ray) Davis and others. We’ve all seen hundreds of ways to spell Dante’. I had to sum them all up with Dontarrious Thomas.

  9. Flozie

    Yo Milene, you suck.

  10. eric

    Definately D’brickashaw Ferguson NYJ

  11. charlie

    I'm old school and have some names from the more distant past. Shaefer Suggs, Jets Jubilee Dunbar, 49ers
