“Broadway” Joe Namath
Perhaps no nickname has been as fitting. Namath was a winner and a talented QB, but he's remembered for his larger than life personality, love of the ladies and the night life and willingness to jump in the spotlight at every opportunity. He was the perfect QB for the bright lights of NYC.

“Mean” Joe Greene
A perfect football nickname, Greene anchored the Steel Curtain D-Line of the 70s and he played, well...mean.

The Galloping Ghost - Red Grange
This name just feels right for a superstar college skill player who wowed crowds in the 1920s. It describes his running style perfectly - even though hardly any film exists of grange we can almost picture him galloping down the field - the perfect blend of speed, power and finesse.

Dick “Night Train” Lane
A cool, suave name that also was a description. Dick Lane played like a train - smooth, fast, efficient and capable of running you over if you were in the way.

The Nigerian Nightmare - Christian Okoye
A Chiefs running back in the 90s, Okoye was known as a ferocious running back who could not be brought down. The name alone tells you this is a guy to fear.
