There are simply certain names that match the profession to which they are attached.*


And then, there are some names that absolutely don't.

The rules of the game are simple:

1. Name 3 football players whose names echo the nature of the sport.
2. Name one whose name absolutely does not.


I'll start.

1. Dick Butkis
2. Otis Sistrunk
3. Mike Ditka

1. Equanimeous St. Brown
(oh, my goodness...)


Give us your own personal 3+1.

I can't believe Dick Shiner of the 1960s Steelers & Browns for a bit, hasn't been mentioned yet.
