2010 Draft
ALL-NAME TEAM |
Any diehard fan following a
sport since childhood will tell you that "names have magic"
- Since Sonny Grandelius roamed the gridiron for the
Brooklyn Football Dodgers and WR Louis Lipps and running
back I.M. Hipp graced Buchsbaum's and Kiper's draft boards,
players' names have carried with them a certain romance and
poetry. To select this year's All-Name class, we asked the
following question: "If you were writing a novel or
screen-play about football, who would you pick for your
"cast of characters?" (Conversely, which names
would you find it extremely unlikely to make the final cut
in any football story)?
(Notes - Yet another
year where there were few if any "Bubbas", "Jim Bobs" or
"Cody's (though we did find a couple of "Bo's"). But
there's more than a hefty share of Rahims and Jaquans. I
hope no one will take offense in my "no name" selections -
it's not intended to poke fun; but rather to draw a contrast
between those who are "name challenged" and those whose,
we're guessing, mamas and papas named them with a pro career
in mind. No doubt. more than a handful of no-names will
enjoy long, productive pro careers). |
