Grabby McSmurf was Packer cornerback Ahman Carroll. He was dwarf-like. Listed at 5'10", he looked shorter than that. His nick came from his habit of not being able to keep his cotton pickin hands off receivers.

Who hung that name on him?

I'd guess Nutz or Skin. Those boys were usually at the bottom of most mischief in those days.

Yes I thought it was coined for CB Ahmad Carroll.

Here is a task for someone. Go back, way back over the threads to try and determine exactly who coined that nickname for Ahman Carroll. It seems to me that Mad really like this CB. He certainly was 'grabby' and short for the ideal CB.
