Yesterday on the radio Wes was talking about coming up with a nickname for JD.

He's strong and tough. He can run through a brick wall. He's fast in the open field.

My suggestion, therefore, is "Diesel"
 
That run in the first quarter was a ridiculous display of strength.

My suggestion: Jon "The Flyer" Dwyer.
 
He already has the nickname the d train. Also blackjack. And lets not forget Raycom came up with caveman haha.
 
Wes dubbed him "Jon Diesel" yesterday: "He needed two for the first, and Jon Diesel gets ten."
 
I hate nicknames. The greats don't have nicknames. Everytime someone starts emerging on our team, someone suggests we need to give them a nickname.

"Sweetness" may be the best ever though. When I saw the post you responded to, the first one that came to mind was Sweetness.

Edit: Actually, I may like Stan "The Man" Musial more. It was simple, it rolls off the tongue, and it was 100% accurate. Also, there was a Negro Leaguer whose nickname was "Dooflackem," a word he apparently yelled when shooting dice.

Lets stick to football. I'll give you sweetness. LT were his initials, not exactly a nickname. My examples:
Bo Jackson
Barry Sanders
Emmitt Smith
Joe Montana
Jim Brown
Jerry Rice
John Elway


You want more examples??
 
From the Urinal-Constipation today:

"But with the new offense drawing most of the attention does the D-line need, like, a snappy nickname?

'We're just the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets,' Michael Johnson said. 'We win together' "

I'll bet Jon Dwyer feels the same.
 
Since he has the longest run in Tech history and has been known to "burn" secondaries, how about Jonathan "Deep Fryer" Dwyer.
 
I guess you mean Vincent Jackson -- Bo is his nickname (short for boar).
Joe Montana -- Cool Joe (have also heard Joe Cool)
Jerry Rice -- World (at least in college, that was his nickname)
