I'll Be The First To .......

Randy got fat. Randy got nicknamed. Burrow will pick up a name once he's here and does something notable. 

Most of those were one's given to him though and were nicknames that did in fact stick.

I guarantee you that if you look up Joe Burrow on google you'll find articles, forums, etc. comparing him to Macaulay Culkin, Dash from the Incredibles and only God knows what else.

Also Carson Palmer and Andy Dalton were both dubbed before they had thrown a pass for the Bengals.

As has Joe Burrow. They called him "Shady" growing up in Ohio.

Also if Joe Burrow's internal fortitude is so weak, as to be shaken from making millions of dollars because a fan of his future team was trying to welcome him to his new team.

Then he doesn't need to be the leader of anything, let alone this team. 

But fortunately the guy that has said that he "thought he'd have a cooler nickname by now" and that looks up "superluminal time travel" in his free time and has described himself as "squidward" from Spongebob isn't probably going to be upset with a corny nickname.
