thread_title: Highlights of college career

message: Darren Sproles was not called the "Lightning Bug" during his college days at Kansas State.  Not until he was well into his professional career with the San Diego Chargers did announcers begin using the moniker.  Clearly, this was mainly due to his diminutive stature and speed, but the specific selection of "Lightning Bug" was also because of the lightning bolts associated with the Chargers organization/uniforms.  Since actual lightning bugs (or "fireflies") are NOT particularly fast or agile when compared to other bugs, and any number of other animals or nicknames could have been used, it cannot be ignored that this nickname originated due to his membership with the Chargers' organization.  He might keep the nickname if he goes to another team, but it was with the Chargers that he was first called the "Lightning Bug." ChargersFan (talk) 23:23, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lightning Bug Nickname 

message: Is he 5'5" or 5'6", because the infobox says one thing, and the actual artticle has another.  Thse two numbers need to be reconciled. --Criticalthinker (talk) 03:43, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: One more question, like most other players, was he ever precisely measured at a combine during his drafting.  It'd be interesting to see if that's what may account for the discrepency. --Criticalthinker (talk) 07:15, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This says he measured in at 5'6⅛" at the 2005 Combine. Eagles 24/7 (C) 17:45, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
