50 Best NFL Player Names: 2014 Edition

Two years ago, I composed the hardest-hitting article of my writing career with my picks for the 50 Best NFL players (that list can be read here: http://maitlandsmadness.blogspot.com/2012/12/50-best-nfl-player-names.html). Well I'm pleased to announced that now is the time for the sequel to that list. As with the first list, this list will be comprised of the players with the funniest birth names, not nicknames (so gems like Bear Pascoe and HaHa Clinton-Dix are excluded from consideration).
