What's in a (nick)name?

[Old Gold n Black]

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I can't stand the nicknames "Mock train" and "Crazy legs". We need something new. Why not work with what we have and go with something like "Crazy train"?

Or something else. Anything else! 🙃

Ideas?

If he had played with Brees they could have been the “mock n mole” backfield.

Whats wrong with Mock train? If anything, he should probably trademark it.

Can't put my finger on it, but maybe it has something to do with the negative connotation of the word "mock". Right? It's typically used to represent ridicule or derision. At best, "mock" describes things that are poorly contrived analogs of the original. Does that accurately describe Devin Mockobee? Hell no.

Speaking of original, for some it perhaps brings back memories of the A-train (Alsott) which was an AWESOME nickname. But can't we think of something more creative than friggin "Mock train"?

Thought I read or heard somewhere that Mockabee has embraced the nickname, so it maybe too late to change it now.

It is challenging with "M-O-C-K" being a big part of his surname......

The Mock Express, limited stops - straight to the end zone.......

To play more off Alstott and previous nicknames, how about Cray-Train?
