There was a thread about Spec or Speck Sanders ... Not sure there was a final answer
since both were used.

Skeet is used in LA Times...Old Rams media guides, old books and newspapers,
his autograph, old history book published in 1955 by Bob Oates, football card -- when they don't say Volney.
Wikipedia

Skeets is in NFL.com, old newspapers ... NFL.com, Total Football, Maher/Gill, Neft/Cohen

Like Spec/Speck both used, probably either one is right - Skeet or Skeets.

I

I used Skeets when I used his name in a book.

BTW---For anyone who might be wondering, Skeet and Skeets is shorthand for Mosquito, i.e. typically a little guy.

I knew a Skeeter when I was a kid. But pretty much everybody had a nickname in my neighborhood way back then: Bear, Cool Joe, Little Louie, Jimbo, Soo-Rod, etc. Whatever happened to all those guys?

Skeets is on NFL.com and in the encyclopedias and PFR. No way can that be considered wrong.
