Trying to come up with nicknames is difficult. Often they feel forced, and are rarely catchy unless they happen organically. As such, the best names often come directly from the players -- and Greg Hardy has a pretty good one for the defensive line.

Monsters Inc is pretty great, but it gives us a monumental task -- helping name (or at least find out) which monster represents the other players. Kraken is there, but we have an abundance of mythological creatures to choose from.
Fortunately, this wasn't just a one-off, Hardy is continuing to follow the 'Monsters Inc' theme -- so it looks like this one is going to stick.

Alright CSR, have at it. We need monster names for Charles Johnson, Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short, Dwan Edwards, Frank Alexander -- and the rest of the crew. Lets hear your best ideas, and why you think that player embodies the monster.
Oh, and Greg Hardy says hello:
