Great Names for Linebackers

[ChosenChildren]

Can you name linebackers with a great name, as well as great football skill. One of the best Iowa linebackers of all time (with the best name):
PAT ANGERER.

Another one: Larry STATION.

A few other examples:

AJ HAWK
ANDY KATZENMOYER
JAMES LAURINITIS
RAY NITSCHKE

Can you think of some others (remember, they must be a great LB with a great name)?

Or can you make a name up (e.g., AJ Banhammer).

Just having some fun here.

I'm not really a Bears fan. But Brian Urlacher has to be on that list.

 

[ChosenChildren]

ABSOLUTELY. URLACHER. great LB, greater name. Perfect. Any others (I know we are leaving tons off of the list). How about some NFL greats?

Bobby Diaco!

 

[ChosenChildren]

Yep. Definitely

Nick Nasti from Eastern Illinois! Great name, IDK about the skill though.

 

[Herkeynerd]

How about a fictional one?

I'm thinking John Smasher.
Maybe Danny Thunder.

 

[ChosenChildren]

Good one!!! Nick Nasti - I love it.

I am no Notre Dame fan, but they had a LB named Michael Stonebreaker a few years back.

DICK BUTKUS

I second this.

Teddy Bruschi. Who can't picture a linebacker kicking back with a few brewskis after a game?

Angerer and Hunter had to be the best LB name combo for all time, at least at Iowa.

I have a good friend down here from Des Moines that is going to be welcoming a son this week. He wants to name his son "Tomahawk Toomey." He was a standout linebacker himself at Kansas:

KANSAS OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE - Football

EDIT: We play together on a flag football team down here, he is an absolute freak of nature.

Junior Seau. I always liked to think of it pronounced as say ow instead of say ah.

I remember watching him play at Valley. Guy was a hell of a football player.
