Lamb’s first name is “Cedarian” and at the NFL Combine, he actually talked about how he was given the name CeeDee. Back when he played pee-wee football, his coach asked him what his name was, and after he told him, his coach said that he needed to come up with a nickname for him before the end of practice. While they were running sprints prior to practice ending, the coach called out “CeeDee”, and it stuck.

Lamb is projected to go early in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
There is a debate whether Lamb or Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy will be the first wide receiver off the board. Experts believe that Lamb could go at No. 11 to the New York Jets, No. 12 to the Las Vegas Raiders, or at No. 13 to the San Francisco 49ers.
Wherever it is, Lamb will be one of the first two wide receivers off the board, and he will definitely be drafted within the first 20 picks.
