NASA officially endorsed Josh Dobbs' newest nickname on Monday. 

After Dobbs led the Minnesota Vikings to a win against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, despite only joining the team on Wednesday, the nickname "Passtronaut" seems to be catching on for the former Tennessee Vols standout. 

Dobbs, of course, was an Aerospace Engineering major at Tennessee. And he's interned with NASA in the past. 

"Congratulations [Josh Dobbs] on yesterday’s big win! Looks like you rock(et) on and off the field. We heard you’ve even got a new nickname, the "Passtronaut." If the suit fits, wear it," tweeted the Nasa Glenn Research Center Twitter account.
