Rien Long - DE on New England, I think. Played for Washington St. last year. I had no idea he's Armenian but my dad said he read an article about him in some Armenian magazine and he has a tattoo of one of the letters from the alphabet so...

Rex Kalamian - former Clippers assistant coach

the Kazarians - Tight end for UCLowns so obviously he sucks and his dad who's known as the "Towel Waver". I haven't seen the dad in action though.

Okay, none of them are popular but there aren't enough Armos in sports to differentiate between popular and not.

Gary Yepremian was the dolphins kicker.
Steve Sarkissian, BYU QB, current USC QB's coach
Steve Bedrossian, pitched in MLB, i think on the braves, phils and giants, maybe a few more teams.
