New nickname for Thomas Rawls

[hawksfansinceday1]

It's Rawls Royce and its not even close (although your cousin did not come up with it, it's been all over the interwebs)

Did you look at the date of my original post....Nov first. If you saw it before that, fair enough. Otherwise I claim credit for my cous.

And I agree it isn't even close.

Apologies if this is your cousins website but here ya go. Sep 29th, and it was used as early as the preseason

His pro nickname is much better than his high school one

Rawls was once dubbed "Train," perhaps with some foreshadowing of him joining the same program where Anthony "A-Train" Thomas, once played. Instead of a bad adult contemporary band, this Thomas now has the badass moniker of "Rawls Royce." He might be named after a luxury car, but he's the latest overlooked player who is now a key necessity in Seattle.

Fair enough. I'll tell her. I don't think it'll ruin her week though.

Maybe Rawls can get a Rolls-Royce endorsement. Better perks than skittles.

Fred Jackson has an idea: THE RHINO.

“He runs like a rhino,” said Fred Jackson Jr. “Maybe he needs that nickname. Rhinos run with their head down, big shoulders, and they’re fast. He runs like a rhino to me.”

Its so odd that is highscool school, college position coach, and NFL teammate and mentor at the same position are all Fred Jackson.

I get it though Rawls probably got into Michigan because of the SR-JR connection, but there was only one Fred Jackson, RB in the NFL and he just happened to fall into Seattle's lap to a strong influence and mentor for Rawls along with Lynch.

I'm pretty set on Lou Rawls, and singing "you'll never find......" every time he makes a great run, which is often :th2thumbs:

I agree, sweet lou....

My vote goes for "Brawls."

He's a compact, tough runner. He may not catch many Lynch comparisons, but I think he probably should. There's nothing finesse about him and he can dish out punishment with his 215-220 pound frame.

"I never go out of bounds."

Brawls.

Balls to the Rawls...

double entendre

1) Get the ball in his hands!
2) Balls to the walls play on words of going hard at something.

You heard it here first!

I like that too.

It's Major Rawls, all the others suggested other than Lou are just awful
