There’s been a buzz around Golladay since the Lions made him their third-round pick. Consistent performances in unpadded practices caught praise. The nicknames also came quickly, with the three most common being “Kenny G,” an easy shortening of his name that turns him into the jazz saxophonist; “The Golladay Inn"; and “Babytron,” the latter coined by J.
