Re: Sheldon Rankins Nickname
Here we go. I prefer to let players earn their nickname before assigning them one.

Re: Sheldon Rankins Nickname
He'll earn a nickname the second he slams Matt Ryan or Cam Newton to the turf.

T-Rank
portmanteau of train and tank, and it fits the less than original first-letter-partial-last-name trend |

His teammates in San Francisco called him "Bird Legs"[51][52] due to his very thin legs and small calves. He was called "Golden Joe" because he played in California (the Golden State), and also appeared on a poster superimposed in front of the Golden Gate Bridge with the wording "The Golden Great."[citation needed] Two more names were provided by a San Francisco Chronicle nickname contest early in his NFL career: the winner was "Big Sky", but another contestant suggested that since "Joe Montana" already sounded like a nickname, Montana needed a real name, and christened him "David W. Gibson."[53] Montana liked the Gibson name so much that he had it stenciled above his locker |

Re: Sheldon Rankins Nickname
Even though you've already demonstrated your way above average intelligence for a Georgian by being a Saints fan, I really have to ask. What's an Atlanta resident tryin' to talk so smart for? No one there's gonna be able to understand y'all.
