Barry Sanders
Detroit Lions
No he was not. I grew up in Michigan and have been a life long Detroit Lions fan. I can say with certainty that he was never called that.
A radio executive named George Richards bought the Spartans (Lions before they were called the Lions), moved to Detroit and decided to be called the Lions because the Lions are the kings of the jungle and George Richards wanted the Detroit Lions to be the king of the NFL.
The predicate for "The lion is nicknamed the king of the jungle" is "is nicknamed the king of the jungle"
