Why?
Because of college football player Diron Talbert.
Diron, a defensive tackle, played at the University of Texas from 1964 to 1966. He was a letterman all three years.
After college, he played in the NFL for fourteen seasons — four with the Angeles Rams, ten with the Washington Redskins. (In fact, in the 1970s, “Diron” popped up in the Washington, D.C.-specific baby name data a couple of times.)
