Why all the nicknames?

#1

I thought the league outlawed names like He Hate Me? But they allow other names. 

Juju Smith-Schuster’s real name is John Sherman Smith-Scuster.

Tank Bigsby’s real name is Cartavious Bigsby.

Dak Prescott’s real name is Rayne Dakota Prescott. 

The NBA is doing it with Ja Morant. His real name is Temetrious Jamel Morant.

In most of society anyone can adopt any nickname they want, but changing your last name is rare and frowned upon outside of women getting married.
Maybe there will be more Chad Ochocincos in the future though.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.

Ok, since no one else explained your error I will. Player LAST names go on the jersey and are required to be the player's legal name minus any professional titles like M.D. or Esq.. All of your examples are FIRST names which the League (and pretty much everyone else in the world) doesn't have any issue with a person using, except in specific cases like government, Court, and healthcare. The original XFL permitted players to put whatever they wanted on their jerseys.and it didn't have to even be a name. Rod Smart did not go by Rod He Hate Me, it was a message, and the NFL still doesn't allow something like that no matter how many Bill, Chip, Andy and Treys play the game.

The league puts surnames on the jersey, not nicknames.

To think they've been letting guys get away with this since the days of Bryan Bartlett Starr....or Earl Louis "Curly" Lambeau.

Inconceivable!
