I cannot keep track of all the Wonderful Mondses

Researching this from a lot of sources.

First, there was a guy named Wonderful Terrific Monds.

His son was Wonderful Terrific Monds Jr. (1952) who played DB for Nebraska and then for the 49ers in the seventies.

His four sons:

Wonderful Terrific Monds III (1973), a Braves minor leaguer who got a little famous from Jon Bois' all time name HOF posts - he's got a few baseball cards in the late 90s;

Mario Monds (1976), who played DT for Cincy and then a bunch of NFL teams in the early aughts;

Devin Monds (1983) , a pitcher at Northeastern who was drafted by LA, and

Wonderful Terrific Monds II (1992) a LB who played at Buffalo and then FIU in 2011 and 2014.

Our guy is Wonderful Terrific Monds IV, 4th of his name and son of the Atlanta minor leaguer.

So, 5 guys over 4 generations, and the II was born 19 years after the III, and 40 years after the Jr.
