What makes a great football player name?

A convincing football player name has that modern American athlete sound — a strong, often distinctive first name paired with a punchy surname (Marcus Jackson, Jaylen Williams, DeAndre Hill). They should sound great on the back of a jersey and read smoothly in a play-by-play call. Whether for a novel, a video game roster, or a fantasy backstory, the right name makes a player feel real.
