If you’ve ever worked the Senior Bowl, you’ve seen the crowd of autograph seekers gathered at the end of the suspended walkway connecting the convention center in Mobile, Alabama to the hotel where the players stay for the week. Oregon’s Jackson Powers-Johnson, the top center prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft, decided to have some fun with this year’s class. When traveling that stretch of concrete during this week’s all-star event, Powers-Johnson came up with a clever way to fool those looking to grab his autograph and flip it for a fast profit: Signing hilariously phony names.
If you’re a fan of the classic “Celebrity Jeopardy” spoof from Saturday Night Live, you’ll enjoy one of his options.
