Tom Brady, Aaron Donald, Antonio Brown, Todd Gurley, Saquon Barkley, Khali Mack, Russell Wilson, Drew Brees, Ezekial Elliott, just lay there, yep....boring. Doesn't Mahomes have a nickname? The College game with...The Four Horsemen, Mr, Outside and Mr. Inside (both won a Heisman) pretty cool, as was "Preacher" Pilot and "Squirmin' " Sherman Lewis, "Choo Choo'" Winters. Hell, the CFL...."Gizmo" Williams, "Pinball" Clemons. I guess a nickname couldn't improve....Fair Hooker....a Browns WR, or Hiawatha Francisco a ND RB. Who can put a name behind that list of nicknames? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
