Thanks to an outstanding career at Fresco State, wide receiver Davante Adams earned the nickname “Optimus Prime.”

Thought that was Tramon Williams' nick!

Rodgers is going to love throwing to this guy. I'm thinking he will become a very prominent part of our passing game this season. Whether that means he jumps Boykin or Cobb is of little consequence. We'll have to see how he develops, but if he proves that sure handed, I'm sure that Rodgers will have his say on it, and will be sure to get him the ball.

At least it's not just another abbreviation of the person's name as seems to be too often the case.

Whatever happened names like the Alabama Antelope, Dick "Night Train" Lane, Mean Joe Greene, Alan "The Horse" Ameche, "Crazylegs" Elroy Hirsch, The Minister of Defense, The Refrigerator, etc? Nicknames used to actually mean something, tell you something about the player, or capture their character. Seems like most nicknames today are just lazy.

If he was comparable in size to Johnson I would accept it but he is too tiny in comparison.
Vice Grip. I like that one.

Davante "Mutant Ninja Turtle" Adams. He's slow and he wears green. [grin1]

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe
