NFL nicknames

While some NFL players are more than satisfied with their given nicknames like Bengals Chad Johnson, whom officially changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco at Broward County, Florida, in order to have ‘Ocho Cinco’ at the back of his jersey (kinda odd but true), others like Adam Jones, does not want to be reminded of his turbulent past when he was called ‘Pacman’ so the Cowboys corner back asked fans and teammates not to be called that.

Besides Johnson and Jones, here are some of the most famous nicknames at the NFL:

1. Big Ben: Ben Roethlisberger from the Steelers.
2. Iron man of the NFL: Brett Favre from the Jets
3. Bus: Jerome Bettis (former Steelers running back)
4. The Playmaker: Michael Irvin (former Cowboys wide receiver)
5. Ageless wonder: Darrell Green (former Redskins cornerback)
