Who doesn’t love fun nicknames in football. They can be for single players, position groups, or entire squads. Some of the best in history have been Seattle’s Legion of Boom, Pittsburgh’s Steel Curtain, and St. Louis’s Greatest Show on Turf. These nicknames help endear those players to fans and stick in their memories for years, if not forever. In 2020 and 2021 the Green Bay Packers Defense had adopted the nickname “The D-Train.” While these squads weren’t spectacular, they still got the job done. Post-turnover celebrations included guys all in a group following the leader blowing a whistle like a train.
Will the D-Train Run Again?
