By the end of the 2019 NFL draft, fans everywhere will know the names of the next generation of football stars they’ll be rooting for.
Some of those names will be a whole lot more memorable than others.
Wherever they end up, guys like Sheldrick Redwine, Justice Hill, Hamp Cheevers, Rock Ya-Sin and Easton Stick will have a leg-up as fan favorites, thanks to their notable monikers, but that’s not all.
Here’s this year’s All-Name Team — the best and craziest prospect names from the 2019 NFL draft class, in no particular order.
Montez Sweat, DE/Mississippi State
One of the hottest first-round prospects out there.
Rock Ya-Sin, CB/Temple
Probably the best name in this year’s draft and it’s probably no coincidence he played at a school called Temple.
Greedy Williams, CB/LSU
He’s likely to get a nice payday after this weekend. Will it be enough, though?
Deebo Samuel, WR/South Carolina
Unfortunately, the NFL doesn’t offer a whole lot of games on Friday.
Riley Ridley, WR/Georgia
Captain of the All-Alliteration Team.
Justice Hill, RB/Oklahoma State
If there was ever a player meant to suit up for the Redskins in Washington, D.C. …
Drew Sample, TE/Washington
Should football not work out, a future in phlebotomy awaits.
Oshane Ximines, DE/Old Dominion; Olamide Zaccheaus, WR/Virginia
Convince me they’re not characters from “Game of Thrones.”
Sheldrick Redwine, S/Miami (Fla)
Rumor has it he actually prefers Chardonnays.
Drue Tranquill, LB/Notre Dame
A calming presence in the locker room, we’d expect.
Slone Takitaki, LB/Brigham Young
Have to wonder if he’s a fan of DJ Snake, hot Cheetos, or terrible jokes like these.
Demarcus Christmas, DT/Florida State
When he plays in a Thanksgiving Day game, you know it’s the holiday season.
Hamp Cheevers, CB/Boston College
Are we sure he’s not an early 20th-century-era baseball player?
Clifton Duck, CB/Appalachian State
He doesn’t get called for penalties, he gets called for fowls.
Easton Stick, QB/North Dakota State
How he ended up playing football and not hockey is beyond us.
Dante’ Redwood, CB/Mercyhurst
He stands at 5-foot-9, so he also makes the All-Oxymoron Team.
Bunchy Stallings, G/Kentucky
His real first name is Jervontius, but we won’t argue with a very large guy who prefers to go by “Bunchy.”
