The Cleveland Cavaliers long ago moved on from Daniel “Booby” Gibson and the Cleveland Browns allowed Andraez “Greedy” Williams to walk in free agency this offseason. Booby and Greedy are two of the few professional players that were known by their nicknames and not their real names.
When Jim Brown announced Cleveland’s selection of Williams the card he read simply said “Greedy Williams.” Few know either Gibson or Williams’ actual first name.
If the Browns interest in Nathaniel “Tank” Dell leads to him being drafted, it is possible that he will only be known as “Tank Dell” throughout his tenure in the NFL.
