Top 20 Nicknames for NFL Draftees




With Wrestlemania XXX now an afterthought, and the death of The Ultimate Warrior sitting on our minds and the NFL Draft upcoming, we at the 'View From America' thought it was high-time to give 20 Nicknames to 20 of the best drafts.

Now, there are already two with Johnny "Johnny Football" Manziel (you can't get a lot better than that) and Anthony "The Freak" Johnson (LSU defensive player (who ironically was anything BUT a 'Freak' this year) already out there (we'd like to point out that Ego Ferguson is actually his first name!!), but we've got 20 more for you.

Some are good. Some are lousy.

1) Jadeveon "Bullet Train" Clowney (South Carolina)

Why? Because he's quick, and when he hits you, you know about it.

2) Odell "David" Beckham (LSU)

Why? Guess.

3) AJ "Reality TV" McCarron (Alabama)

Why? Because during his NFL career, all anyone's going to be talking about it Katherine Webb, his wife who appeared in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue. Oh, and their wedding's going to be the subject of Reality TV. That's the second reality TV show they were on, since their relationship at Alabama was a soap opera.

4) Greg "Mrs" Robinson (Auburn)

Why? Because his mother's Mrs Robinson, and we turn our lonely eyes to you.

5) Teddy "Troubled" Bridgewater (Louisville)

Why? Because his draft stock's plunged, and if you see him competitively, you can't seem to work out why. And it's a take on the Simon & Garfunkel song.

6) Tre "Pasemaster" Mason (Auburn)

Why? Because his Dad's P.A. Pasemaster Mase in De La Soul. Seriously.

7) Will "Dreadlock Killa" Sutton (Arizona State)

Why? He's got dreadlocks, and he killed it at Arizona State. He went to school with Vontaze Burflict, who was one of the NFL's premier tacklers last year. He's gooooood.

8) Zach "Mett" Mettenberger (LSU)

Why? Guess. It's not really that interesting.

9) Lache "Speed" Seastrunk (Baylor)

Why? Because he's really freaking quick.

10) Cassius "Boxer" Marsh (UCLA)

Why? The kid's a DE, so he can hit. And apparently the dude Cassius Clay could hit, too.

11) Isaiah "Trouble" Crowell (Alabama State)

Why? Because when he was at Georgia, wherever there was trouble.....he managed to find it.

12) Jeremy "Blindside" Hill (LSU)

Why? Because he was videoed blindsiding some dude outside a bar in Baton Rouge, LA, with the force of what can only be described as a laughable. The dude turned around and hardly reacted. It was very funny.

13) Storm "X-Men" Johnson (South Florida)

Why? You know. Because you know that some t**t is going to start a marketing campaign on Johnson's first name, with "There's a Storm Coming". Yes, we get it. Powerful RB though...

14) "Slammin'" Sammy Watkins (Clemson)

Why? Because he's the first Sammy in professional sports people seem to have cared about since Sammy Sosa, so why not steal his nickname? He's really quick, too.

15) Jordan "Money" Matthews (Vanderbilt)

Why? You know, because he went to Vanderbilt, meaning that when he gets out of the NFL he's DEFINITELY going to make lots of money. Goes back to a buddy of mine in college who was called "Money" because he did accounting.

16) John "Einstein" Urschel (Penn State)

Why? Because he's super-intelligent, and could have gone pro in something other than sports.

17) Pierre "Pornstar" Desir (Lindenwood)

Why? Dude, because with a name like "Pierre Desir", he sounds as though he has moves at other positions than cornerbacks.

18) Kelcy "Jadeveon" Quarless (South Carolina)

Why? Because when people hear he played at SC, he'll be asked this question: "Oh, you played with Jadeveon Clowney? What was he like? Was he really that injured in 2013, or did he just suck? Say hi to Jadeveon for me!"

19) "Comic Book" Eric Ebron (North Carolina)

Why? Because with a name like Eric Ebron, he sounds like a comic book star.

20) Blake "Lucky ****er" Bortles (South Florida)

Why? Because as soon as they see his girlfriend Lindsey Duke, they'll go: "Blake, you're a lucky ****er"
