What put it there?

Wide receiver Tamarick (pronounced tah-MAHR-ik) Vanover, who spent most of his years in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs (1995-1999).

But the name debuted several years before his professional career began. And many of those babies were born in Florida specifically. Why?

Because of Tamarick’s successful (if short) college career. He was a key member of Florida State’s football team in 1993 — the year the Seminoles won their first national championship.
