If Rosen would become as good as Luckman...we would have something.   4 time NFL champion.

Despite the pose, Harry Newman did not win the Heisman Trophy:

Rosen is rocking more of Jay Fiedler than the others imo.

And I will be honest with you:  I didn't even know that Lyle Alzado was Jewish.

Bet you didn't know Randy Macho Man Savage was a Jew either.

[DieHardBrownsFan]

They were all brothers, and yes, they were Jewish.

Sid Luckman was a fantastic athlete and Lyle Alzado was the surprising name there.....but quite a character especially with the BROWNS.

OK....But what is Von as a first name?  You cite what it means when it is used as a patronym or preposition.

As a first name....it is actually Norse:

Meaning of Von: "hope" Origin of Von: Norse

One guy I remember, was former Indians player Von Hayes.

Then there is the famous motorcyle purchased by the American Pickers....the Von Dutch...maybe that is where I got it as being Dutch:

I have been to there store in LeClaire Iowa and have seen this famous motorcyle.

[TexasAg1969]

It's short for Vonnie.LOL!

His real name is Vonnie B'Vsean Miller, Jr.

[Tour2ma]

Alzado was a surprise here, too...
