IDENTITY
Every once in a while, two
professional athletes
crop up with the same
name, like Panthers
QB Cam Newton
(far lef t ) and safety
who once signed
with the Panthers.
Here are three more
notable namesakes.

Interview by Kid Reporter Carlo Vellandi
ADRIAN PETERSON
The one you know is on the
left, chasing records as a
member of the Washington
Redskins. When the future
Hall of Famer entered the NFL,
however, there was another
AP who played RB. The Bears’
Peterson had 1,283 rushing
yards for his career.
SEBASTIAN AHO
The Finnish Hurricanes
forward hooked the Swedish
Islanders defenseman in an
NHL game in March 2018.
It wasn’t the first time they
had tangled. Hailing from
bordering, rival countries,
the two Ahos had met in
international games.
BRADY FEIGL
Two Brady Feigls pitching
in the minors, both with
red beards and sports
goggles—what are the odds?
A DNA test showed that
the A’s prospect (left) and
the Rangers’ minor leaguer
have the same Germanic
heritage—but aren’t related.
