Ephesians Prysock has a chance to bring his unique first name to the NFL.

The talented draft prospect from the University of Washington shares his name with a book of the Bible.

The origin story of Prysock's name doesn't appear to be on the Internet, so hopefully someone asks him after the draft.

But it seems like it has to be based on the book of the Bible, Ephesians.

Ephesians is actually a letter, written by the apostle Paul to the people of Ephesus in the early days of the Christian church.

The most famous verse is a popular one in Protestant teaching -- Ephesians 2:8-9 --  "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."
