NFL draft prospects are constantly trying to stand out from the rest of the pack. In order to climb teams’ draft boards, they have to make a name for themselves. For some players, their name already sets them apart. NFL draft scouts and experts will still evaluate and rank players based on their performances, but with names like Barkevious Mingo and Bacarri Rambo, it’s hard to be overlooked.

On Friday, New York Jets left tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson retired at age 32. He will be one of the most memorable players of all-time. Ferguson never missed a game in his career, starting 167 games, including playoffs, and missing only one offensive snap. Since he was the fourth overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft, Ferguson was renowned as one of the best pass protectors in the league. He also has one of the greatest names of all time.

Every year, the NFL draft produces some great and crazy names. With Ferguson’s departure, these upcoming players have some big shoes to fill. Some of the players on this list may not be highly regarded as a player, some may not even be drafted, but their names alone will add character to the league.

In honor of one of my childhood heroes, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, here is a position-by-position look at some of the best names of offensive players in the 2016 NFL Draft. These are the T.J. Houshmandzadehs and Coy Bacons of the future.

The 2016 NFL Draft All-Name Team: Offense

Quarterback

Blake Frohnapfel, Massachusetts - At 6 feet 6 inches tall and 238 pounds, Frohnapfel (FROH-nap-ul) has the size of an elite quarterback. He had a stellar season in 2014, earning first team All-Mid-American Conference recognition. However, his numbers either dropped or hardly improved in 2015. His name may not be called during the draft on April 28-30, but at least it’s a unique one.

Honorable Mention: Christian Hackenberg, Penn State

Running Back

Storm Barrs-Woods, Oregon State - Scouts say he does not have the athletic ability or power be a premiere back in the NFL, but he does have some third-down value as a reliable pass catcher. If his name is called on Day Three of the draft, Barrs-Woods needs to get right to work instead of storming bars.

Honorable Mention: Wendell Smallwood, West Virginia

Fullback

Quayvon Hicks, Georgia - A former defensive tackle, Hicks has the strength to kick out any defender. His 2015 rushing and receiving numbers dropped from the previous year, but he is credited with leading the way for multiple 1,000-yard rushers. Call his doubters Quay-zy; this bruiser could hear his cool name called on Day Three.

Honorable Mention: Soma Vainuku, USC

Wide Receiver

Geronimo Allison, Illinois - Much like a Bedonkohe leader of the Chiricahua Apache tribe, Geronimo Allison takes leadership roles seriously. The lanky receiver was a team captain for multiple weeks in 2015 and showed much improvement in his senior season at Illinois. NFL teams might not want to jump in on him too early, however, because he did not play football until his senior season of high school.

De'Runnya Wilson, Mississippi State - A receiver named “De’Runnya” sounds like he should have top-end speed, but Wilson will have to rely more on his size (6’5, 224lbs) than quickness. He runs about a 4.8 second 40-yard dash, but he is a physical red zone weapon. His name may run late into the third day.

Honorable Mention: Pharoh Cooper, South Carolina; Jared Dangerfield, Western Kentucky

Tight End

Beau Sandland, Montana State - There are no sandy beaches near Montana State (there is a Villa Montana Beach in Puerto Rico), but Sandland hails from California and played a year of college football for Miami before transferring to the FCS school. He’s a pass-catching tight end who can also run block. Maybe the Miami Dolphins will bring Sandland back to South Beach on draft weekend.

Honorable Mention: Darion Griswold, Arkansas State

Center

Graham Glasgow, Michigan - This highly regarded offensive lineman is from Aurora, Illinois, not the third largest city in Scotland. He was a three-year starter at both guard and center and excels as a power run blocker with NFL strength at the point of attack. If there was ever an NFL Europa revival, Glasgow would most likely stay in the United States.

Honorable Mention: Siaosi Aiono, Utah

Offensive Guard

Sebastian Tretola, Arkansas - Sebastian is a great name, whether it’s for a crab or an Oakland Raiders kicker. Tretola plays with power and is a workhorse on the field, not a mini horse like a different Sebastian. He blocked for two 1,000-yard rushers during his time at Arkansas and is now one of the top guard prospects in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Charles Vaillancourt, Laval - This guard’s surname seems different, or maybe just more French, because he's from Canada. At only 6 feet 3 inches, Vaillancourt is very low on draft boards, but he has NFL-caliber strength and intensity. He will likely be the first overall selection in the CFL Draft and have a respectable career in Canada.

Honorable Mention: Rees Odhiambo, Boise State; Vi Teofilo, Arizona State

Offensive Tackle

Germain Ifedi, Texas A&M - In NFL Draft Expert Mel Kiper’s latet mock draft, he projects the New York Jets will draft Ifedi with the 20th overall selection. A guy with a name like this will be the perfect replacement for D’Brickashaw Ferguson. Ifedi’s draft stock is rising similarly to that of Cedric Ogbuehi, the 21st overall pick in 2015 with an awesome name.

Halapoulivaati Vaitai, TCU - No, he is not the state fish of Hawaii. It’s pronounced hal-lah-poo-li-VAH-tee VIE-tie. He is projected to go in either the seventh round or undrafted, so this tongue twister might not be said on draft weekend. However, Vaitai does show versatility playing right and left tackle and earned second team All-Big 12 honors in 2015. The best part: his twin brothers are named Kevin and William.

Honorable Mention: Le'Raven Clark, Texas Tech; Laremy Tunsil, Ole Miss
