It surprises me that there is people whose last name is a country. The only one I knew about was Holland.

It doesn't surprise us here in America.  I believe the reason for that is that some immigrants that came here in the past used the name of the country they came from for their last name...instead of their original name.

Christian Kirk will be in the NFL after the draft. Does that count?

Maybe not, but I will give it to you anyway....as there have been other Kirks that played in the NFL.

Do you want us to google it or to try to guess it? 

It could be great if we actually knew how many are there in each category. Like: 1 Presidents (3 players). 

I guess they ARE/WERE players called Washington, McCoy, Scott, Starr, Aaron, Cobb and I'd say Spain just for patriotism, though I don't see anyone having a country as a last name. 

Googling is never acceptable in these.   Does Jeopardy allow you to Google the answers? No.

But, on your guess.  I will say that yes....there have been NFL players with  6 of the 7 names you guessed.  Now just guess which one of the 7 you guessed is wrong.
