    What about 'Boom Boom' Mancini or Mike 'The Jewish Bomber' Rossman?

    Ok this has the potential to make me look stupid, well more so than normal I suppose. Looking for a former NFL player whose name is Blaze. I feel like I should know this and it's staring me in the face. Local college soccer player's real first name is Blaze, apparently named after a former NFLer, he couldn't come up with a last name either. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Iowa State had a running back in the early '90s named Blaise Bryant. I don't know if he made the NFL. And I don't know why anyone would name their kid after him unless he was the baby daddy.
