Ravens Rookie Paul Kruger Earns Nickname Goldilocks

Posted on September 3, 2009 by James W

Paul Kruger, the Ravens rookie linebacker out of Utah State, has been proving himself on the field this offseason and has quickly established himself as a force on the Ravens D. But he’s earned himself a nickname amongst his locker room buddies which may stick with the outside linebacker who’s making people in Baltimore forget about Bart Scott very quickly … and it’s not “Freddie” Kruger.

Seems that Terrell Suggs (T-Sizzle) has given Kruger the call of Goldilocks (courtesy of the Baltimore Sun) :

Defensive end-linebacker Terrell Suggs is known for making fun of others. He refers to rookie Paul Kruger as “Goldilocks” because of his long blond hair.

If this name sticks to Kruger the way he sticks to running backs and tight ends, expect a wave of long blonde wigs to hit the Ravens fanbase in M&T Bank Stadium.
