What was the influence?

College football player Qadry Ismail (pronounced KAH-dree ISS-my-el), a wide receiver who was also known as “The Missile.” This paired nicely with “The Rocket,” the nickname of his older brother Raghib.

In 1992, Qadry was playing his final season for Syracuse Orangemen. That season was a particularly good one for the school — they won the Lambert-Meadowlands Trophy that year — and Qadry was a standout player on the team.

He went on to play for various NFL teams, starting with the Minnesota Vikings, from 1993 until the early 2000s.
