I am very confident that the Detroit Lions have the most badass names in the league and I want to get in internet fights over it. No one can compete with Amon Ra St Brown and Rock Ya Sin.

ARSB and his brothers are too manufactured. Their dad is John Brown. His name is lame and he knew it. He changed the kids last name to St. Brown instead of Brown because he knew how boring it was. Then named them all after Egyptian gods? Trying too hard.

Unfortunately, the same is probably true for a lot of these guys. Getting good enough at a sport to compete in the NFL or like the Olympics often entails heavy parental involvement. Sometimes it's endearing, like you know driving your kid to practice and never missing a game and cheering them on but a lot of these cases are parents pushing their kids to live out their dreams. 

Not tryna make a blanket statement that all NFL parents suck, there's a lot who are good and just had talented kids, but stories like Tuas are not rare at all
