For those of you who believe Dumb Brain Analytics are more important then whatever advanced calculus BS Amazon and the NFL are putting out, you’ll understand that things like a players name or number are the most important factors in determining if a player will be successful in the NFL or not.
Though we are at a current (unresearched) peak of players not using their first names and going by a nickname or middle name. This is most evident in the prominent position in all of sports, the NFL QB.
