I’ve always had an infatuation with crazy sports names and the NFL has always had a lot of great ones. Anything with a “z”, “q”, “v”, or an apostrophe is an automatic contender. Here’s this year’s list.
1) Jaquiski Tartt – FS San Francisco 49ers
2) Quandre Diggs – CB Detroit Lions
3) Deiontrez Mount – OLB Tennessee Titans
4) Za’Darius Smith – OLB Baltimore Ravens
5) Senquez Golson – CB Pittsburgh Steelers
6) Owamagbe Odighizuwa – DE New York Giants
7) Hau’Oli Kikaha – OLB New Orleans Saints
8) Aaron Ripkowski – FB Green Bay Packers
9) Bud Dupree – OLB Pittsburgh Steelers
10) Javorius Allen – RB Baltimore Ravens
Honorable Mentions: Hroniss Grasu – C Chicago Bears; Ifo Ekpre-Olomu – CB Cleveland Browns; Tayo Fabuluje – G Chicago Bears; Obum Gwacham – DE Seattle Seahawks; Arie Kouandjio – G Washington Redskins
Congratulations to the Bears, Ravens and Steelers, which all have 2 players on this list. However, none of them are quite as great as D’Brickashaw Ferguson!
