Re: need help with Howie Long Raiders jersey nameplate(photo inside)
Let's take it one step further...has anybody ever seen ANY NFL player use a full first and last name NOB? In all my years of watching/researching football I have never seen it - well except the XFL's "He Hate Me." Usually if there are multiple players on the roster with the same last name the go with first initials. I'd be interested to hear any variations/deviations from that.

I think Ricky Williams in his rookie year had the full name.
The NFL rule is/was that if two players have the same last name, they both have to have the first initial on their. If multiple players have the same last name and the first initial, then the first two letters of the first name have to be on there. If the first two letters of the first name are the same, both have to have the full first and last name.Looking for Duane Kuiper home run baseballs

According to the Raiders alltime roster, Howie Long is the only regular season player with the last name Long.
That said, it doesn't mean that there couldn't have been another H. Long in preseason
