When it comes to football, there are many different kinds of nicknames out there for top performers.
Some of the greatest nicknames are simply shorter versions of the player's name combined with an adjective that describes them or the way they play. For example, look at "Big Ben," an apt name for a QB who stands 6'5" and weighs over 240 lbs. Another classic in this category is "Broadway Joe," a nickname that fits not only Joe Namath's team, the New York Jets, but also his career as a TV and stage actor.
Some of the more creative nicknames are the ones that depart entirely from a player's name, commenting only on their style. "Beast Mode" is arguably the premier example of this kind of nickname in the modern sport, a great label for the incredibly hard-to-tackle Marshawn Lynch. Going back a few years, "Sweetness" is another top option for encapsulating the smooth, elegant running style of Walter Payton.
It's good fun to check out the nicknames of real players, but what about you? What would your nickname be if you ever made it to the pros? In this quiz, you can be whatever position you want. Just tell us about yourself and your pigskin choices, and we'll give you a nickname that matches. No guarantee that it'll catch on at work, however.
