Winner: Jeremy McNichols, RB/McW

If you don’t know, the McW next to his name stands for McWeapon which blew up on Twitter last night. That was the nickname that McNichols had in college because he played some WR and some RB, but was always one of the more athletic players on the field.

You know, it is never ideal to have your top RB out and your backup be a situational guy that you are trying to keep healthy. However, something great came out of it for the Tennessee Titans and that is that we all got to find out who Jeremy McNichols was.

Last night he had a rushing touchdown (called back for a fake hold) and a receiving touchdown, and looked like a guy both hungry to make the roster and explosive/sound enough to be considered a lock.

I don’t know how they squeeze him on the roster, but whether they have to call David Fluellen a FB or not, McNichols has to make this roster or be traded. There is no way that a guy can look this good and this complete despite a rotational cast of offensive linemen in front of him, and not make the team OR land some compensation for his team.
