All-UGA team based on greatest nicknames in Georgia football

Since 1892, thousands of football players have represented the University of Georgia in collegiate football.

Athletes come and go, but the fans’ adoration for the football program remains the same. However, although a player may leave after 3-4 years, some make a longer lasting impact than others, and it’s not always for their performance on the field.

A good nickname goes a long way. A great one makes you a household name. But if you’re great player who happens to have a great nickname, that makes you legendary. Nicknames are one of those things that can make a fondness for a player spread like wildfire.
