Knighton learned early in his NFL career that you don't pick your nickname, your nickname picks you.
Florida State officially announced the hire of new defensive line coach Terrance Knighton earlier this month. The 38-year-old spent seven years in the NFL and has fledged out a coaching career over the last six years, quickly building an impressive resume.
Knighton found himself presented with two options on the cross-country flight; pot roast or shrimp alfredo. Like facing a fork in the road, he had a decision to make. What Knighton didn't know was that his choice at 30,000 feet would stick with him for the rest of his life. Knighton weaves the next part of the tale like a masterful storyteller in his installment with The Players' Tribune.
"So when the flight attendant came down the aisle saying, “Pot roast, pot roast,” I waved my hand out into the aisle and said, “Right here!”
