So the Eers barely escaped their game with Iowa State with a win, so I am in a better and more relaxed mood than usual for the past five weeks. Switched over to ESPN, where the Cincinnati Bearcats are taking on South Florida, and I basically am only watching because the Bearcats have two of the greatest names in football- their QB Munchie Legaux and a DL named Silverberry Mouhon. Both of those are outstanding, but I still think my favorite football name is Georgia’s Bacarri Rambo. Some other names I’ve loved in the past were Yancey Thigpen and Plaxico Burress (who is now a Steeler again).
For those of you who follow football, what are some of your favorite player names?
*** Update ***
I forgot about Champ and Boss Bailey, as well as Bronko Nagurski.

@Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again):
Possibly. Just OT and FYI, I was five years old in 1972. There was some kind of NFL collect-em-all stamp book thing going on that year where when if you (or your supportive parent) bought stuff at some national chain (Seven-Eleven, if memory serves), you got a few trading-card-like sticker/stamps that you could paste into an album, the goal being to collect all stickers for the entire league (which as I recall was doable–I only ended up about ten short.) And I distinctly remember being absolutely obsessed with the oddball coolness of Yepremian–his unusual name, glasses and odd jersey number.
So it was sort of a shock to Google it an hour ago and discover that sometime between 1972 and now I’d made the glasses/double-zero thing up. (Coincidentally (or not) the performance artist Matthew Barney (same age as me) has done a number of pieces about the Raider center Jim Otto, whose jersey number actually was 00. Some sort of weird Gen-X numerology, I must assume.)
