    Does "Super Bowl era" mean they were drafted in the Super Bowl era or played in the Super Bowl era?

    Yes on TD and Martin. There are actually two more - so five in total - both players - like the other three - played in the Super Bowl era, and have names that could be considered two common first names.

    If it’s “played in the Super Bowl era,” Jim Taylor.

    Correct on Taylor and Kelly - thought it was interesting that all kind have two "first names."
