Does Richard Sherman have an official nickname?

I know that he called himself "Optimus Prime" before the Lions game last year, but I don't think that stuck as his nickname.

Does he have an official one?

Ringworm Sherm!

Ringworm Sherm is what he's been called since his rookie year. Optimus Prime was more of a stage name versus Calvin Johnson.

Optimus, ring worm, Sherm, or my personal favorite.....

SHOELESS DICK SHERMAN

I think we can credit Zeb with that? Or someone else? It's genius though.

I have previously heard and have always liked:

Sherminator

Shoeless Dick is my personal choice.

It has history and resonance if you follow baseball.

I think it should be The Poltergiest...

tricky dick!

Ringworm Sherm was the first official one from one of the earliest Real Rob Reports, if memory serves.

Personally, I love the nickname that a lot of 49ers fans use for him. Dick Sherman. I say it with love, but they say it enough anger and hatred to make Emperor Palpatine blush.

Game over!

I gotta go with the name Earl and the LOB gave him and still use today (Ring worm).

How does one go about making a nickname "official?" Isn't the whole point of a nickname just a name that isn't official that sticks with someone because of some reason or another?

He doesn't need a nickname

If only not for that...

How about Richard "Crabtree's Mediocre" Sherman?

Too long?

Crabtree is too irrelevant to be mentioned in the same breath as Richard Sherman on a regular basis, even as an insult.

I would go with too mediocre myself.

We should all call him Blanket. It would be hilarious
