Some names you can just cash in on.

Before Thursday’s NFL Draft,  offensive lineman prospect Forrest Lamp inked a deal with Lamps Plus Inc., the nation’s largest specialty lighting retailer.

The four-year starter at Western Kentucky will have the home he will share with girlfriend Natosha Boden furnished by the Los Angeles-based company.

“While his name is perfect to endorse our company, we really like Forrest’s work ethic and enthusiasm. He will shine at the professional level,” Lamps Plus CEO Dennis Swanson said in a statement.
