It was like a movie.

Miami was the only team to ever go undefeated*** in the NFL and here come the 85 Bears looking like the team to tie them, so what team knocks them off.....Miami...on a Monday night. The Bears oly lost that one game that season.

*** there were a few oldies but goodies that never lost but were tied.

My favorite real name...Fair Hooker...he was a hurdler at ASU and a wide receiver for the Browns.

Army once had Doc"Mr.Inside" Blanchard (a power back) and Glenn "Mr.Outside" Davis (a 9.6 sprinter) both would win the Heisman, only time in history two backs on the same team pulled that off, obviously in different seasons.

Then there's Notre Dames legendary....The Four Horseman.

Mad bomber is far and away the best nickname a qb could ask for

also I don't think you mentioned sweetness. There's also the white shoes guy

Yep, it gets no better than "The Mad Bomber". But, without the great Warren Wells a sprinter out of Texas Southern Lamonica wouldn't have had that moniker. Wells was the ultimate long ball receiver.

Billy "White Shoes" Johnson was ridiculous in college, he played for some tiny little school, set all kinds of records.

While Payton was often called "Sweetness" it never really took as a legit nickname, sorta like Lance Alworth and "Bambi".

While here...

Just a couple nuggets to widen your football horizons.

The first player to ever e the ball was Homer Jones a wide receiver for the Giants/Browns. Jones was a national caliber sprinter while at Texas Southern and one of the few to ever beat Bob Hayes, he did it in asn NAIA 200m.

Chiefs receiver Elmo Wright (out of Houston) was the first to do a little td dance.
