Yes, that is the offset where some (but not all) of the legend names are found. Mike Haynes (changed to Mark Smith after 2K Sports' patch) is the first legend in that fairly long list.

Again though, changing the names in that location will not affect the play-by-play names. It is just a cosmetic way to alter names. Plus you cannot exceed the existing character limit for each player slot or it will break the file.

The text you see immediately following his name, years played, and teams played for, is the same text the game uses in the loading screens when displaying player trivia. Only a few legends have loading screen text.

If you go to offset 0000D180, you will find that Mike Haynes is also the first legend player listed on The Wasps, who appear as the first CPU team on the file. This offset is where you will find Mike Hayne's actual player "DNA."
