Ajax is the perfect nickname for Aaron Jackson. First things first, Ajax sounds like a shorter quicker way of saying Aaron Jackson, plus Aaron cleans the boards like Ajax. Aaron also is a hard worker on defense, much like Ajax is a hard worker against grime and dish grease.

Ajax is also the name of a mythological Greek hero Ajax The Great. Ajax is described as of great stature and colossal frame, the tallest and strongest of all the Achaeans, second only to his cousin Achilles in skill-at-arms. Aaron Jackson will never be described as having "great stature" but he plays big and is certainly tough.

Hollywood big man Tyler Mane played Ajax in Troy.

I liked the nickname "Action Jackson" for Aaron, but the people have spoken

Aaron, you have a nickname, now it is your charge to get this team turned around and get us a win Sunday at Charlotte!
