NFL players animated to match their nicknames
The NFL is full of colourful personalities, leading to some pretty awesome nicknames. They can stem from a play off of their name (such as Gronk for Rob Gronkowski) or their style of play (such as All Day for Adrian Peterson's never quit attitude). No matter the origin, they can often leave some great imagery for the fans’ imagination.
The Checkdown has gone to the trouble of taking a few of these nicknames and bringing them to life. While there are many nicknames they could have used, they decided to create three: Captain Kirk (Kirk Cousins), Beast Mode (Marshawn Lynch), and S.W.A.T.T. (J.J. Watt).

Hopefully The Checkdown will continue to create these animations. Here are some ideas:
LeSean McCoy – Shady
Cam Newton – Superman
Doug Martin – Muscle Hamster
Ben Roethlisberger – Big Ben
Darrelle Revis – Revis Island
Matt Ryan – Matty Ice
