New York Jets DL Sheldon Richardson Has Given Himself a Sweet Nickname

There are certain things you just don't do as a guy. You don't date your buddy's ex even if he says its okay (because it never is). You don't choose a chick flick over an action movie (let her choose the chick flick when it's her turn that way you can keep your pride), and by no means do you ever give yourself a nickname. Nickname's are something that you earn and are given by other people.

New York Jets defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson went ahead and gave himself a nickname anyway, but when you see it you'll agree that it is perfect for him.

Recently the big man changed his name on Instagram to the MetLife Monster:

While giving yourself a nickname is typically a no-no this one should stick and fits Richardson pretty well. He is an absolute beast on the defensive line for the Jets and is prone to terrorizing opponents when they come in to the home of the New York Jets, MetLife Stadium.

So even though giving yourself a nickname is a no-no--well done Mr. Richardson. Well done indeed.
