Ok, so if you have a child named after you, you are a Sr., correct? And on to the uniform it goes.

I wonder what George Formans kids would do here.

Marley, I’m not going to argue with you because I don’t know rhe correct answer. I confess I thought I did, but the only “cite” I have is the Senior, Junior relationship between the Griffeys and my father and bother, who were always referred to as SFP SR. And SFP JR. when addressed. But on a formal document, all I know is that it followedmthe Nast name, like you are

To me, he’s not the 3rd GRIFFIN. He’s the 3rd Robert..

What if junior seau was a junior? His uniform could read, seau junior (if he was alive, that is)

He’s the third Robert Griffin in his family. This is kind of splitting hairs.

Why do you think his nickname was Junior?

QFT. [Roy Helu got to add “Jr.” to his jersey as well](http://nfl.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/p13544505dt.jpg).

For whatever it’s worth, Robert always had “Griffin III” on his jersey during his years at Baylor too.
