Favorite All-Time Football Player Nicknames

That's probably my favorite too. Do any current players have really good nicknames? The best one I can think of off the top of my head is Bob "The Hitman" Sanders, although Bob has about 5 other nicknames as well (not trying to be a homer here, I just honestly have not heard many nicknames in this era).

 

Primetime... Not only because its a great nickname but because the guy was probably the best Cornerback in the history of the NFL.

 

Just thought of a good modern nickname, Torry "Big Game" Holt.

 

The only man to have 2 nicknames

Deion Sanders - Primetime & Neon

 

That has to be one my faves, i used to enjoy listening to them on ESPN 2K5 the game, another one i liked was Ace,Deuce and Plenty of Use McAllister :)

 

Best one on ESPN 2K5 was Ty 'I fought the law and the law won' Law.

 

Anybody remember Jared Lorenzen in college when he played for Kentucky....they used to call him "The Pillsbury Throwboy"

 

Ask the Redskins or their fans that witnessed SuperBowl
XVIII..[smilie=LAUGHY32.gi:

 

Yea i liked that one as well

 

Uh, he's not even the only Sanders with multiple nicknames. Bob Sanders has at least 3 that I can think of off the top of my head: "Black Bob", "The Hitman", and "The Eraser".

 

I always used to like Webster 'Lock up your daughters' Slaughter, and Lester 'The Molester' Hayes. Ed 'too tall' Jones is my favourite of all time though.

 

William "Bubba" Paris, that named cracked me up.

 

have to mention the best quarterback of all time


joe cool montana

 

Cornelius "Biscuit" Bennett

Great player at Alabama and with the Buffalo Bills, with a great nickname. :icon_cheesygrin:

 

what about the Vikings Defence of the 70's "the Purple People Eaters" now know by Bears fans as "The Purple BellEnd Eaters" (cocksuckers..IRTY08: )

 

Lol :icon_lol:

 

we had a TE (1987-91) who's real name is Cap Boso #86...

talking of TE's how could I forget the great #80 Jim "ROBO COP' Thronton (1988-92)

 

The Bus due to his running over everyone.

Tommy "Turn Over" Maddox / Tommy "Gun" Maddox ~ I hated the man, so that is why I like turn over.

Gotta love the Fridge.

Slash Stewart for his ability to play multiple positions and be a threat, until his coach screwed him up from his running rule.

 

:VIOLENT24:

I cannot stand that man.

 

As mentioned, twinky "Night Train" Lane is my all time favorite. Plus the fact that they had to ban clotheslining as a form of tackling because of him adds to the aura.
