Aaron Donald Nickname

[leoram]

Michael Jordan was simply referred to as MJ. Everyone knew what that meant.

When people say AD, football people know who it is. 'Nuff said.

Teflon Don.

I think Aaron "Teflon" Donald is a great Chris Berman style nickname. It is right in line with how Berman would subtly drop nicknames into his recaps. First off, it's witty and takes second to catch the cultural reference. Secondly, it has a great secondary meaning as Donald truly is one of the most Teflon-like players in NFL history.

I like this. When we say AD everyone here knows who it is. The rest of the world should know. The greatest needs no nickname. His name is synonymous with the greatest ever.

I don't know guys. Does Aaron Donald really need a nickname?

I mean, did Mean Joe Greene have a nickname?

Many good points in the forum for this...but because it's the offseason and I want to "play" here goes:

Aaron Demolition Man Donald...the defensive unit around him? AnnihilNation....we blow crap up

Aaron “I squash you in my armpit” Donald

Has a ring to it…

“Aaron the Barbarian”

I thought it was Game Wrecker.

A lasting and popular nickname for Donald needed to already exist by now for one to last and stick with him, but if I was going to give him one now, I like "Doomsday".

Aaron "Doomsday" Donald just has a nice cadence and alliteration to it and it accurately describes the effect he has on the opposition.

Also, after "DOOMSDAY", I like "All-Day" and "D-Day" the best.

Thread winner IMO

I'm pretty sure "a lot of people" is a gross over exaggeration. I take that back. I'm not pretty sure. I guarantee it.

I'm with @Loyal, I'm in for Aaron Freakin' Donald.

Either that, or he doesn't really need a nickname.

Love it when he makes a great play, and the announcers say his name slowly and with reverent emphasis: " ....AARON... DONALD..."

The way they say his name, and gape in amazement at the crazy play he just made... the "Freakin'" part is unsaid, but implied.

When ppl say your name with awe in their voices, a nickname becomes unnecessary...

It's Wrecking Ball.

One problem, though--

Wasn't he a Heisman winning RB for the Trojans?
