The NFL's Coolest Names, Part I

This is the second part in a four-part series featuring the coolest names in sports.  The NBA's coolest names were first.  These are the NFL's coolest names.

Sorry about the prior confusion, Ryan and Tyler.  This list was very long, and still is, obviously.  The full-length list, I believe, may actually be too long to fit inside one BR article layout template.  That's why this list was cut short, and I couldn't get the last few names (Umenyiora and Tuiasosopo are two of those names I couldn't fit into this template) to fit into the template.  So the last few names are in "The NFL's Coolest Names, Part II". 

Hamza Abdullah

Husain Abdullah

Victor Abiamiri

Flozell Adams

Titus Adams

Joseph Addai

Victor Adeyanju

Xavier Adibi

CJ Ah You (that's not a joke, that really is a guy's name.  You can look him up on NFL.com if you want to)

Ikaika Alama-Francis

Zac Alcorn

Condrew Allen

Aundrae Allison

Danny Amendola

Antwan Applewhite

Devin Aromashodu

Nnamdi Asomugha

    No Marques Tuiasosopo? That's like having a list of the best Smurfs and not putting Smurfette on it.

      Sorry, Ryan. I'll tell you the same thing I told Tyler. I had Tuiasosopo in the final copy that I had in Word, but for some reason he didn't make it into the BR edition. I'm trying to get the real final copy onto BR.

      Sorry, Tyler. I had Umenyiora in the final copy that I saved in Microsoft Word, but for some reason he didn't make it into the BR edition. I'm trying to get the real final copy of the article posted now.

    Hey, thanks for nominating Wade Betschart. My last name is Betschart and I think this is the first time anyone thought it was a cool name. Or is it just that you like his first name?

      Well I do think that Wade is a cool name. But if Betschart hadn't been the last name, that name would not have made it into the field. For instance, "Dwayne Wade" is just too normal. I wanted names that jump out @ you, and Betschart stood out to me. Cool name.
