Scariest NFL Names

Every year there are attempts by the league, websites, blogs and individuals to create a list of the “coolest” or “best” NFL names. Since, I’ve done that before, and find it a bit cliché, I thought I’d keep in tradition of the holiday spirit and compile a list of the leagues “scariest or best Halloween” names just in time for the festivities. Some of the scariest names in the NFL to yours truly are Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, and Brian Dawkins.

The scariest right now to your team’s defensive coordinator could quite possibly be Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson. However this list will avoid the subjectivity and provide the reader with a ranked listing of the scariest NFL names of all time. Feel free to add to the list in comments, or mention if I omitted any player.
