Emeka Egbuka Approves New Nickname
September 12th, 2025
Joe gets that things sound better than usual when Laura Rutledge says them.
However, the nickname “peek-a-boo-ka” for stud Bucs rookie Emeka Egbuka is ridiculous, even if Egbuka told Rutledge on NFL Live today that it is “a solid nickname.”
Egbuka was a guest on the BSPN show and was advised that peek-a-boo-ka is what washed out rambler Chris Berman has been calling him.
Well-spoken Egbuka handled the interview very well and Joe was almost surprised Egbuka agreed to it. Sometimes, a humble rookie like Egbuka will pass on the spotlight early in his career.
The Buccaneers’ first-round pick talked to Rutledge about how he learns more from Mike Evans and Chris Godwin by watching and observing their routines than asking questions. He also said Baker Mayfield is the “definition of energy” and the quarterback has become “a steady force” for him on a daily basis.
If Egbuka keeps scoring touchdowns and keeps the national fantasy football crowd glued to him, he’ll quickly become a face of the Bucs’ franchise.
