Was it Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie? Am I missing someone obvious?

I Remember when Patrick Peterson was Patrick Johnson. Patrick Johnson-Peterson

Sorry for the CelticDog thread

I don’t think it’s a trend I think that’s just their name

Good one. I remember when he was just Maurice Drew at UCLA

I feel like they started popping up en masse around the same time guys started putting “SR” on their jersey

Kareem Adbul-Jabbar was probably the first. They should have stopped after that.

Suffixes are more of a trend.
