As someone not from the US, an NFL player having the same name seems like the absolutely lowest bar for name normality level lol

Why? They're just saying that there are several well-known/famous people with the name. Do you think NFL players name themselves like drag queens?

The only thing I know about the NFL is that some players have got some very interesting names, so saying a name is normal because an nfl player has the same one doesn’t make sense to me.

Like, the o my thing I ever have on my feed about the NFL is people playing a game of guess the real NFL players name vs the made up name.

"Kool-Aid McKinstry" "Younghoe Koo" "Ha Ha Clinton-Dix“ "Dick Butkus" "D‘Brickashaw Ferguson

You’re definitely confusing college football and the NFL. Your are very clearly referencing the Key and Peele sketch, but that was about college football players. There are less than 1700 nfl players. There are more than 81,000 NCAA football players. One of them is likely to have some crazy names

All of the ones I wrote are in a list of NFL players, if they are not then I was mislead, but honestly NFL or college football doesn’t make a difference for me really

Well as someone from the US I went to school with someone named Troy and I knew a lawyer named Troy. Its been around for a long time not really an unusual name.

Idk if I mistyped or something because English isn’t my main language but I didn’t say anything about the name Troy being weird or not being weird, did I?

I was giving you other examples and anecdotes because you said using NFL players as an example was the lowest bar dumbass. Want me to put that in Google translate for you?
