Thanks. Was Eric Metcalf too fast to tag a nickname on?
And here is the original NFL "Big Daddy". Very sad life he had.

I don't recall Metcalf ever having any sort of nickname.
And I agree that when I heard people calling Hairston "Big Daddy" that I thought that name should have been reserved for Lipscomb....but Hairston came a generation later so what do you do?
