Remember the "Muscle Hamster"?

Doug Martin doesn't want to be called that anymore, so the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tailback needs a new nickname. He's playing too well not to have a nickname.

Against a porous Jacksonville Jaguars defense on Sunday, Martin exploded for over 100 total yards and two touchdowns in the first half alone. Martin turned 13 carries into 93 yards, while adding two catches for 23 yards through two quarters.

It's Martin's first multi-touchdown game since his rookie season in 2012.

So ... new nickname needed. Is "Buff Gerbil" off the table?
