Is it just me or do almost half of our players actually have uncommon first names? I counted 43 players (including Ace and Marcedes) and a coach (Jedd) whose real first names are either totally weird or relatively uncommon. Check these out:

 

COACHES

OC: Jedd

 

ACTIVE ROSTER

QB: Blake

OL:Luke, Zane, Luke, Jaques, Carson, Tyler, Austin

RB: Toby, Denard, Westleigh

TE: Clayton, Marcel

WR: Cecil, Marqise, Kerry, Tavarres

DL: Tyson, Sen'Derrick, Ziggy, Abry, Andre, Red

LB: Geno, LaRoy, Dekoda, Telvin

DB: Dwayne, Winston, Mickey, Demetrius

 

PRACTICE SQUAD

OT: Cody

LB: Marcus

CB: Peyton

 

INJURED RESERVE

TE: Marcedes, Fendi

WR: Tamdon, Damian

FB: Bradie

DB: Deion, Rashaad

 

SUSPENDED

WR: Ace

 

Maybe some of these names are more common than I thought, but even so, over half of the players on our team has uncommon or rare first names. Gus said his name's Paul during his introductory press conference, so I am not counting him, but you can if you want to. Before Gus, people called him Casey.

 

I am not including Shahid because he is an immigrant, so for where he is from (Pakistan), it may be a common name. But I don't care if you count him too.

 

If the Jaguars don't have the most guys with unusual first names in the NFL, I can't imagine what team does.
