Want Your Son to be a Star NFL Running Back? Have you ever thought about the letter “K” and its relationship to NFL running backs?
Maybe you should have.
There are more good or great running backs in NFL history, present and past, that have a K in their name than any other letter, according to a new research report released today by the Sammy Sportface Syndication Network.
In the modern game, you’ve got Alvin Karama Kareem Hunt, Derrick Henry, and Rex Burkhead. In the past, there were these guys: Erik Dickerson, Mark Ingram, Christian Okoye, Leroy Kelly, Ed Podolak, Jim Kiick, Larry Csonka, and Chuck Foreman.
There are a few others who have been good or still are good and use a “C” rather than K in their names: Corey Dillon, Christian McCaffrey, Curtis My Favorite Martin, and Roger Craig.
In each case, the names of these guys are pronounced with a hard “C” sound that sounds like a “K.” So they make the cut.
Does any of this matter?
Of course, it does.
If you’re a parent with a kid on the way and you want him to be an NFL running back and make millions of dollars a year, you better make sure he’s got a K in his first or last name.
So if your family name doesn’t have a K in its last name, you better start thinking about giving little junior one of these first names:
Kevin, Kyle, Kenneth, Keith, Khalil, Kurt, Kieran, Kenny, Keanu, Karl, Keenan, Kipp, Kiefer, Kurtis, Ken, Killian, Kamal, Karim, Kiley, Kellan, Kameron, Keagan, Keegan, Keene, Kenton, Kenner, Kofi, Kristof, Keelan, Kerry, Kade, Kalani, and Kendall.
If none of these arouse you, you could also consider Kesegowaase although to be blunt it’s an unusual name and would be hard to spell for anyone who comes in contact with your son Kesegowaase.
Another possibility — though not recommended — would be the name Kryzsztof. You have to know going in, however, that this name is wicked hard to spell and just plain difficult to get your head around visually mentally. It begs to be spelled Kristoph. Plus NFL linebackers will love smashing your kid if he makes it to the league as running back.
Image the defenses in film rooms getting ready to play against your son. “Can’t wait to crack Kryzsztof this Sunday,” every opposing linebacker would say.
There are other ways to solve your problem. Just call your kid Rick or Buck or Mack. Mack would be the best of these three because you want your kid to run the ball like a Mack Truck and not some slow and afraid kid named Rick. Buck would have an annoying habit of insisting on playing the game his own way instead of the way the team needs him to play. Buck would be destined to buck the system.
You could name your son kaleidoscope but that would raise more questions than it would answer especially about his eyes.
There’s one final option albeit sub-optimal: Mark. But remember he’d be a marked man by every team he played against. He probably wouldn’t last in the league for more than two years due to excessive pounding on his body and that would have direct relevance to you because any money he may have given you would be less than had he stayed in the league for eight to 12 years.
