I also like those. Others that I remember are Michael Jackson (one LB for the Seahawks, the other WR for the Browns and Ravens) and the two Robert Jackson who were teammates with the Browns in the late 70s-early 90s (G Robert E. and LB Robert L.).
There were the two Gene Washingtons -- both WRs playing at the same time, if they haven't been mentioned yet.
Another confusing situation -- Neill Armstrong, football coach/player, and Neil Armstrong astronaut.
Nowadays there are two guards/centers named Connor McGovern, one with the Jets, the other with the Cowboys. I think they are not related (I thought they were cousins):
Watching today's Jets-Falcons game at London I watched both Michael Carters playing for the Jets (one running back and one cornerback). The surprising thing is that both were drafted after each other.

There were a couple of Mark Carriers who played at about the same time. One was a WR and the other was a safety.
