With the official kickoff of the 2013 NFL Regular Season only five weeks away, I thought I would take the time to bring you 36 days of football trivia, knowledge and in-depth story-telling to build some excitement for the season. On day seven, I breakdown the seven best short player nicknames!
7 – Running Back - Lavon Albert Mitchell or “Stump”
6 – Running Back - Lionell “Little Train” James
3 – Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco – Return Specialist and Running Back - Nolan “Super Gnat” Smith
5 – Wide Receiver - Jerome “Ice Cube” McNeil
4 – Miami Dolphins - Running Back - Don Nottingham or “The Human Bowling Ball”
2 – Half Back – Jack “Soupy” Shapiro – 5-foot-1/2” – World record holder for being the shortest player in league history
1 – Carolina Panthers - Middle Linebacker - Sam Mills or the “Field Mouse” – What the heck does a field mouse have to do with a football player anyways?
Up Next: Tomorrow I will break down one of the toughest quarterbacks in league history. His name is legendary and his words were even more valuable. He threw for 4,000 yards and 20 touchdowns in the season just before he won the Super Bowl. His team asked him to throw less. Can you guess who it is?
