There are some good names of former players to choose from. You could name the pup Rimington. It has a certain ring to it. While I'm on the R's, Rathman or Ruud would be others to consider. Berringer is another one
that has a good sound to it and that was a Husker that really was someone to look up to. Depends on the personality of the pup. Good luck.
If you're looking for a pit bull name, Lawrence Phillips, Abdul Muhammed, Scott Baldwin, CHristian Peter, etc
Probably want to stay away from a dog named Bohl, although it fits for a "dog", or Solich or Pedersen
Hey how about a dog named Callahan or Cosgrove if you have a stray
