Imagine I told you that there was an NFL offensive player whose nickname is “Bam.” Then I asked you where said player’s nickname comes from.
You’d likely think the answer would be related to said player’s power and punishment, probably a running back, tight end, or offensive lineman.
Well, in this case, “Bam” is a running back, but Zonovan Knight‘s nickname has nothing to do with his playing the position.
Knight was asked about the origin of the name, and he gave this answer in his characteristic upbeat tone.
