This is actually a common thread on the Rant. I have no idea. I'd rather just call the dude by his last name unless the nickname predates his LSU days.

Chad Jones: was "the dread-locks of doom" and that was given to him by teammates.

Sonic Sam: is what Sam calls himself. He's a big sonic the hedgehog fan.

Freak: was Anthony's nickname long before he came to LSU.

Brad Wing - "Crocodile Puntee"
Odell Beckham Jr - "OBJ"

I wouldn't exactly say a handful of nicknames is an 'obsession' really - out of 80 some-odd players on the roster?

Past Ones:

Dalton Hilliard/Garry James - "The Dalton and James Gang", "LSU's Roaring 20's"
Carl Otis Trimble - "K-O Trimble"
Charles Alexander - "Alexander the Great"
Bert Jones - "Ruston Rifle"

IDK. Our area is like that. Cajun families have nicknames for all thier kids and kin folk.

We had one for John Parker Wilson too. LaRon Landry's BITCH
