The nickname came about while the two teammates were talking on the sidelines when mic’d up.
Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins made sure to poke fun of his teammate Ja’Marr Chase on the sidelines this past season when he was mic’d up with the NFL.
As Chase, who was sidelined for the game was chowing down on a hot dog on the bench, Higgins coined him the “Glizzy Gobbler,” and it was all caught on video.
So, why did the receiver decide to call out his teammate like this on a national level? He explained the story to Sports Illustrated’s Lacey Jane Brown on Radio Row this week.
The self-proclaimed ‘Quarterback Defender’ on Super Bowl memories and where his interests lie for Eagles-Chiefs.
Peyton Manning is a Super Bowl expert.
With this year’s game only days away, Manning’s rooting interests are not attached to either the Chiefs or the Eagles. But he will be focused on two players: Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.
“I’m a quarterback defender,” says Manning. “For years, I was in that category of quarterbacks that hadn’t won a Super Bowl. Then I won a Super Bowl, and I left that group on paper, but I never really left the group.

In Kyrie Irving’s mind, setting ablaze the fabric of the Nets was beyond his control. In losing Kevin Durant, Brooklyn’s gravest mistake was holding Irving accountable.
Could Josh Jacobs wind up with Sean Payton in Denver? The new Broncos head coach certainly sounded interested during a sit-down with the free agent running back on Kay Adams’ Up and Adams show Thursday afternoon.
Payton, who signed with the Broncos last week, spent the better part of two minutes drooling over the former Alabama star, and even ended his diatribe with a little tease a month away from the start of NFL free agency.
“He was always consistently playing well and so I’m glad he’s a free agent, I encourage everyone to look at him … maybe we look at him,” Payton said.
