Great Football Names
-
This thread is for listing football players whose names seem extremely apt to the game. Here is one that I came across who, while the statistic that bears his name was not around in his time, is a great name nevertheless: Jack Sack. (Columbus Panhandles, Canton Bulldogs, Cleveland Panthers)

Of course there are others:
Dick Butkus.
Taz Knockum
Brit Barefoot......yes, he was a kicker for Ga. Tech.
Darius Passmore.......(but he was not a QB...a WR.....so he should be Darious Passmoretome.
Bronko Nagurski.....because it just sounds tough.
Sonny Sixkiller.....big name QB with Washington in the 70s...never played NFL...but did play WFL.
And our old friend Tank Carder (I believe Tank was his real name...not a nickname...not sure)
Colt McCoy is a pretty cool football name. Of course he should end up playing in Indy eventually.

Best pair of receiver names ever.
Also, DL St Louis Cardinals--- Odious Lee.
Shame Mike Junkin sucked so bad. Hall of Fame name, zero talent.

I remember having to read a book report on Johnny U back in school. I loosened up the crowd with saying "Buzz Nutter was Johnny U's Center"..Still as a kid, i wanted a Chris Hamburger jersey cus that's what Madden & Scully called him on tv, so i thought. till my football coach wore a HaNburger jersey... Browns? Anybody remember our Guard Pork Chop Womack..I read a book his first name was Floyd...Webster Slaughter best WR name of all time...
