The New England Patriots’ sixth-round rookie wide receiver goes by his nickname, “Pop.” The back of his jersey only reads his last name, “Douglas.”
And whenever you read about him you will naturally see his first name as well. Turns out, however, we have all been spelling it wrong this whole time.
While seemingly everybody — including the Patriots’ own media guide — have been spelling it as “Demario” the young pass catcher himself clarified on Wednesday that it actually should be spelled differently.
“The M in my name is capitalized,” he said.
DeMario Douglas added that he is not angry about the common misspelling, though.
