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.Originally Posted by KYPack

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.

We were remiss not to remember that Mike Sherman and his coaches at one time put Ahmad Carroll in boxing gloves to help teach him how to play press man and not grab the opponent in such a way as to draw a flag.
Nothing captured the moment of a player and his struggle to develop more than Carroll in boxing gloves in DB drills. Like a 6 year old wearing socks on their hands to bed so they don't pick their nose during the night.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
