Etienne Reveals Pronunciation Shock: 'Ay-chan' Not 'Ee-tee-ehn'!

Travis Etienne Jr., the new running back for the New Orleans Saints, has clarified the pronunciation of his last name. During his introductory press conference, Etienne revealed that his surname is pronounced 'Ay-chan,' a detail that has surprised many NFL fans and media members who have consistently used the 'Ee-tee-ehn' pronunciation since his college days.

Etienne is poised to take over as the Saints' starting running back, filling the role previously held by Alvin Kamara. He acknowledged that he intentionally allowed the common mispronunciation of his name to continue during his time at Clemson, finding it easier for announcers. His iconic 'ETN' nickname may now fall out of use.
