It never gets old for Texans defensive back Mike Tyson.
That is, being reminded of his namesake: Former heavyweight champion boxer Mike Tyson.
"When people call my name, it's always, 'Mike Tyson,'" Tyson said. "It's never just, 'Mike,' or, 'Tyson.' I love it. I take to it now. At first, I didn't. It's a good look. The nickname they call me here is, 'Champ.'"
Promoted from the practice squad to the active roster this week, Tyson has a good sense of humor about the name.
No, his teammates don't use the boxer's distinctive voice when addressing him.
