[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 847363"] Given how nicknames are doled out, they probably call him "Scotty" or just "J.K." in the locker room. pro-football-reference.com often shows notable nicknames. For instance, Jared Goff's is shown as "Mr. Perfect", which is ironic given he's tied for 2nd. in most INTs this season, but I digress. The following link shows the all-time ranking of qualfying punters in terms of gross average: [URL]https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/punt_yds_per_punt_career.htm[/URL] Of the top 10, the only guy shown to have a nickname at p-f-r.com is Pat "The Boomstick" McAfee. We all may have missed the boat in not coming up with Bryan "Strike Out In" Anger, but that's water under the bridge. The greats from prior eras, Ray Guy and Yale Lary, appear to have gone nickname-free. Lary was a very good DB, good enough to be in the HOF, so he could have been "Double Trouble". Since there were still some good two-way offense/defense players in the league that would have been a bit much. In short, to avoid an overreach, I'd stick with "Scotty" or "J.K." [/QUOTE]
