“Derrick’s Kindred Spirit”

Derrick Kindred is the first of two rookies to make this list, and his name is to easy to pass up as a team name.

Simply calling the team “Kindred Spirits” would lose the rookie’s connection, as fellow league members may spend hours wondering if they were indeed your kindred spirit. Although they may also think you have a spiritual connection with someone named Derrick. Perhaps you do and just don’t know it yet. Fantasy football brings people together.

Derrick Kindred was one of 17 rookies to make the final roster and will start the season behind Ibraheim Campbell on the depth chart at the strong safety position.

His own kindred spirit may be Batman, as Kindred played his entire last season at TCU with a broken collarbone. That is true grit and determination from a young man who was following his NFL dream, and luckily for him it paid off.

This team name works if you put a picture of Derrick Kindred as your team avatar, once again avoiding questions of “who is this Derrick guy you are so connected to?”

Kindred should be able to be a key part of the Browns secondary in 2016, and if he becomes a face of the defense, this name will make you the coolest person in the league. So it goes.
