Wierd Rookie Names

I was just playin through a franchise today and I saw a TE whose name was "Rodney King". I couldn't believe it, I had really never seen Rodney or King used in the Rookie Report rookies. This guy also went to Sega University, which is a very rare school for rookies. Just thought I would see if anyone else had any popular names or uncommon names go through the draft.

How bout this for weird? My co-workers' name is Christina Penn. She is a white girl from Virginia. So when the rookie report comes up, there is a white guy named Chris Penn. He is a WR out of Virginia Tech. The real funny thing is that Virginia Tech is only a couple of hours away from her home and she attended there for awhile.

Wow, that is wierd. I haven't see the last name Penn in the rookie report I don't think. Wasn't Shawn Penn's brother also named Chris Penn?

After putting in hundreds of hours into this game, I've seen just a few interesting names come through. I've seen a couple real NFL player names come through: I think Jeff Blake and Tim McDonald were the only ones I've seen. I've also seen a Cary Collins that was a QB, though the real one spells his name Kerry. But the one that I liked best was when "Don King" was in my draft class.

You know I would have to say that I had a Don King also. I am pretty sure he was in there. I know I had some other ones but I can't think of them off the top of my head. I'll keep an eye out.

In my current franchise, there's a defensive end in the draft class with the first name Billy. However, he has no last name. He is simply "Billy", I guess.
