What do you mean?

Examine the name and length of the name for each player that goes over the limit and determine what works best for each player. For example:

Ben Roethlisberger - Ben Roethlisbergr
JuJu Smith-Schuster - JuJu Smth-Schuster or JuJu Smith-Schustr
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie - Dominique R-Cromartie (or possible Rodgers-Crom, though I don't like that personally.)

I agree it should be on a player by player basis. All I would need is a list of players that need adjusted..
Ben Roethlisberger already is spelled out "ROETHLISBERGR" in the game
I have JuJU with the "SMTH-SCHUSTER"
Then I need the list of other players..

I like that.

I'll come in with a fifth option, which is mostly a question: Is the number of letters per name hard codded? Like, is it possible to find a way to add more letters or is it dug into the exe (Making it unchangeable due to lack of source code ... man, the great things that source code would allow ...)

I'm good with the rest of them, but these two really don't look right to me. I'm not sure what the best alternative would be, but those ones I feel need to be something different.

Actual ...............................In Game ...................................... Possibilities

Roy Robertson- Harris..........Roy Rob-Harris..................Roy Rbrtsn- Harris/ Roy R- Harris/ Roy Harris or keep it as is

Laurent Durvernay-Tardif..Laurent Duvernay-Tard......Laurent Dvrny-Tardif/ Laurent D-Tardif/ Laurent Tardif or keep it as is

My vote would be D-Tardiff, and either R-Harris or Rob-Harris.

I am leaning toward.. D-Tardif and R-Harris
