Irv Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 If it wasn't before, starting this topic confirms that I need to get a life. If we were to somehow get Kentucky's Josh Allen in the draft: Has there ever been two players on the same NFL team, at the same time, with the same name? What names would be on the back of their jersey's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 They play on opposite sides of the ball. It would just be Allen for both of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Yes, at one point Cleveland had at least two (maybe 3) Andre Davises EDIT: it was 2002-2004, and there were only 2 of them. Both players had "Davis" on the back of their uniform--the rule that required initials went by the wayside years ago.

BillsfaninChicago Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Pooh Bear Williams and Pat Williams were on the Bills team at the same time. That isn’t exactly what you asked but I just felt like typing Pooh Bear Williams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they used middle initials that year to differentiate them. Roy L Williams and... Roy C Williams maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuco Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I bet we could solve the dilemma by giving each player a big number - much bigger even than the name tag. Just an idea. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillies Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Marquez Valdes-Scantling plays for the Packers. But I don't think anyone else on the team has the same name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
