There have been a number of great nicknames for NFL players over the years. Thomas Neumann, for USA TODAY’s Touchdown Wire, gives us the 101 best nicknames in NFL history.
Four of them belong to former Arizona (or St. Louis or Chicago) Cardinals players.
A few notable nicknames didn’t make it. Budda Baker’s given name is not Budda, which is a fantastic nickname. Larry Fitzgerald is known as Larry Legend. That one didn’t make the list either. DeAndre Hopkins is called Nuk, which also didn’t make the cut.
Three others get honorable mention.
Check them out below.
