How Snacks Harrison got his name, and why he doesn't like it
ALLEN PARK -- You can call him Snacks because even his momma calls him Snacks. But Snacks Harrison isn't exactly a fan of the name Rex Ryan gave him as a rookie in New York.
The massive 355-pound defensive tackle prefers the names he grew up on, like Heavy D or Boss Hogg. His favorite is Big Dame.
But when he made the Jets in 2012, he developed a reputation for snacking during meetings. And we're not talking about celery here. Honey Buns are his go-to, and Butterfingers too, although Reese's Peanut Butter Cups will do just fine. Chips too. And, well, you get the point.
