Jaguars' "Pot Roast"

Rookie nose tackle Terrance Knighton earned the nickname "Pot Roast" on the club's recent road trip to Seattle through a simple food order on the team's flight.

However he got it, Knighton said he "plans to market" the moniker.

Defensive Atiyyah Ellison joked Thursday that Knighton, 6-feet-3, 325 pounds, "ate three pot roasts on the flight to Seattle." But according to Knighton, the nickname came from linebacker Clint Ingram, who overheard an exchange between the rookie and one of the flight attendants.

An attendant on the flight to Seattle asked Knighton if he wanted shrimp alfredo or pot roast for his in-flight meal. Knighton replied, "I don't eat shrimp alfredo," which meant he'd take the pot roast. Ingram, who was asleep in a seat in front of Knighton overheard the conversation, woke up and said, "Pot roast, that's your name," before falling back asleep.

"He woke up just to tell me that," said Knighton, who also added that it was "the first and last time" he'd eaten pot roast.
