Best NFL Nicknames / Past or Present

[Rock Strongo]

Surprises me that you've never heard of these ones:
Blonde Bomber
The Chief
Deebo
Fast Willie

Those ones are more common than most. Mean Joe & The Bus are probably the biggest 2.

fast willie rings a bell on parker, but thats it.

never heard rooney called the chief and im too young for bradshaw.

Nice list. As knowledgeable of NFL nicknames as @Rock Strongo is, I find it hard to believe that he's only heard four of those.

I've never heard "hammer", but Jack Ham was certainly one of the greatest LBs I've ever seen play.

Also loved "Slash", though he was as likely to break a fan's heart as he was to make a play.

Yea I think Rock is lying! Trying to play the "IDC" card lol

Ham was an animal. Never got to see him play in person, but I've watched many game tapes from those days. Loved his instincts!

Slash... lol you couldn't be more right.
