I'm from New Jersey. Apparently everyone gets a nickname here. But I get your point, I think everyone tries to force the "hard" sounding nickname

 

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

Apparently Dick Lane who still holds the rookie record with 14 INTs(12 games) loved this tune.....




He just walked on with the Rams asking for a try out. Former basketballer.

Tyreek "Cheetah" Hill, does work.

He isn't the fastest trackster to play pro football, he is however the fastest in pads on a football field I have seen.

Curtis Dickey was a world ranked sprinter, a great sprinter but you'd never know it on a football field. He was a Colt back in th day.

From everything I'm hearing the guy simply has no clue at all.

Blyleven was a pretty good pitcher back in the 80's. made it into the hall of fame a few years ago. that nickname was actually given to him by Chris Berman in one of the few funny things he has ever said in his career

As you can tell not too knowledgeable in baseball.
