Ohio State’s football players have a nickname for Braxton Miller.

No, it’s not “XBRAX1,” the nickname some on the outside have given to the Buckeyes’ star. This nickname has more to do with Miller’s off-the-field habits than it does anything he’s accomplished on the field.

The name: “Uncle Braxton.”
