Gerald McCoy to Jameis Winston: ‘Let the Rah-Rah Guys Be the Rah-Rah Guys’ by Jeff Smith

Bucs Plan to Use Virtual Reality System to Help Jameis Winston by Jose Martinez

In case you missed it, Doug Martin apparently really, really hates the nickname “Muscle Hamster.” So much so, that he’s really looking to kick the nickname all together in 2015, as Tom Pelissero of USA TODAY Sports reports.

“The name ‘Muscle Hamster’ is the worst nickname possibly ever given to somebody,” Martin told USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday, leaning into a reporter’s recording device for effect. “I hope it changes, and I hope that I play to a level where my nickname changes. That’s what my goals are.”

Well, it’s safe to say that Bucs fans are probably hoping that his level of play is strong enough to kick the nickname as well, because we’d be looking at some pretty strong production if that’s the case.

Many people seem to love the nickname Muscle Hamster, but as Martin goes on to explain, you really can’t make up your own nickname, unfortunately.

“I can’t give my own self a nickname. I can’t do it,” Martin said. “You can. Hey, trend it.”

Personally, I’m a fan of Dougie Fresh, but that’s just me. If Martin needs some help with a new nickname, I’m unfortunately not his best bet to help out. If he can produce impressive numbers in 2015 though, I’m sure there’ll plenty of other nicknames to come out for the young running back.
