Best Names in the NFL?

My girlfriend always laughs when I'm playing Madden because of the great names.

Our most recent fave was a guy names 'Dontarrious'. :lol

I thought that was great until I found this one:

Vick King (http://www.tsn.ca/nfl/teams/player_bio.asp?player_id=6806&hubName=MIA)

Why would somebody name their kid 'Vick'? Are the a fan of the vapor-rub? Seems stupid, until you put the names together...Vick King becomes....Viking!! :yo:

What are some other gems?

Not a pro yet, but for a linebacker you can't find a name better than A.J. Hawk from Ohio State.

:lol:

That's classic. I hope it says his full name on his Jersey.

Earthwind Moreland.

I mean cmon. Can you imagine growing up with the name Earth-Wind?

Priest Holmes is definitely the coolest name of the well-known players in the NFL.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh is also cool

Pisa Tinoisamoa as well

Not really in the NFL, but here are some good college ones:

Ex-Nebraska center Richie Incognito
USC DE Frostee Rucker
Ex-USC Fullback Sunny Bird
