Valentino Blake’s interception on Friday came against the Steelers, a team he played with for three seasons. But a lot has changed since then, including Blake’s name.
Back when he was starting for Pittsburgh he was known as Antwon Blake, which is his legal first name and the name he played under at UTEP and for his first four NFL seasons. Then, last year when he signed with the Titans, he was asked what he wanted to be called for the team’s media guide.
He told them Valentino, his middle name.
So now he’s Valentino Blake.
