I think you have to stay with Sacman for Jarvis Jones.
For LeVeon Bell, he's big, fast, and went to school in Michigan, which gives me that new car smell. I kinda just want to call him "Buick".
Markus Wheaton went to Oregon State and their nickname, like my high school, was the Beavers. I just remember my coach giving the fatherly advice on rainy games/practices...."There's nothing like a wet beaver...." But I couldn't work that into a nickname, so I'm going with simply "Munro". As in Burt Munro, the Kiwi who in the 30s set and still holds land speed records for a motorcycle under 1000cc. He frequently gave "Offerings to the God of Speed". Plus I saw the actual bike in Invercargill.
Shark is a no-brainer.
Landry Jones. I was thinking "hey you", or "rather later than Sooner" since he went to Oklahoma and we need Ben healthy.Last edited by thor75; 05-01-2013, 11:34 PM.1. C.J. Mosley LB Alabama

As soon as I learned that the Steelers drafted Le'Veon Bell, it immediately reminded me of the Levian Diamond---a girl's best friend

Several of them (especially at the bottom end of the class) might have the nickname "Who?" until they begin to distinguish themselves on the field as pros.Comment

Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment

They each should have their own theme songs, too. They might fit with the nickname.Anyone know the nick names of the draft class? Here's what I could find.
1. Jarvis - Sacman - not sure I like it
2. Bell - Chocolate Diamond - Did he leave a surprise in someone's closet? - this one's official but I don't like it. how bout shortening it to CDeez
3. Wheaton - He reminds me of the breakfast of champions, but couldn't find anything
4. Shmarko - Shark - makes sense
4. Landry - Doc Holliday - We're gonna see tshirts saying fear the stache - not sure i like this one
5. Hawthorne - Swooshy cause of 22 Nike symbols
6. Brown - JB
6. V Williams - Bug as in VW Bug
7. N Williams - Samford and Son
I need simple ways to refer to these guys. And I'm not typing out Chocolate Diamond.
Like Shamarko = Mack the Knife
