Jim Brown played for the Browns, and probably more.

When Colt McCoy inevitably (hopefully) gets to the Colts... that'll be a special one.

Any saints play for the Saints? Anyone with "St." in their name?

Anyone who could be defined as a raider on the Raiders? Maybe someone who became an FBI or SWAT agent?

Sadly, according to PFR, no player with "Saint" or St." In his name has ever played for the New Orleans Saints.

Johnny Sample was a Steeler.

Honorable mention to George Wilson, who had the 1926 AFL LA Wildcats named after him (his nickname).

Back in the 90s, the Bills had a practice squad QB named Tom Bill ...

As far as I know I don't think any "former women" have played for Cincinnati.

I'll patiently wait for y'all to get the joke. :D

When I was eight years old, I noticed a football team named the Cleveland Browns. Their best player's last name was Brown and their coach's last name was Brown. I thought that was really something.

Ah, perfect.

I presume no Bengalis have ever played for the Bengals?
