...I'm very much aware the NFL (& the other sports leagues) allow name changes, generally; I've never argued, otherwise. I mean, I've been...
As someone with first-hand knowledge of this (I managed my company's very large and very lucrative sponsorship with the Astros during this...
...I googled it... And, also, I do marketing/advertising/communications for a living, and have previously managed sports sponsorships for years,...
What, exactly, do you need explained? A new name change would require league approval.
....uhm, you do know only 3 of those guys are in the HoF (well, technically, two as Brady has yet to be inducted) and the rest were fairly...

I have repeatedly asked for examples of it happening and, across four major sports, there are almost no examples despite most leagues being ~100...
Justin Herbert, and not the guy drafted five slots of ahead of him who's been to the SB and B2B championship games, is your exception?... I don't...
