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."
