Chief Nicknames
 
I was watching NFL Network tonight, and they had a special about the greatest Nicknames in NFL History: "Sweetness," "Crazy Legs," "White Shoes," "Broadway Joe," etc.

The Chiefs have had some very colorful nicknames over the years. Here's 20 of them. Some are easy, some are harder. Can you name the person that matches each nickname? No Googling or other cheating allowed. These span the entire Chiefs History, most are players, some are coaches:

Psycho
Thunderfoot
Human Joystick
Snacks
Nigerian Nightmare
Holler Guy
Contact
Super Gnat
The Cool
Snoop
The Mentor
The Kick
Rock
The Hammer
Mighty Mouse
The Headhunter
The Tank
President
Big Cat
Pride of Parkersburg

"Snacks" always made me laugh.

Mighty Mouse-Mark McMillan

Human Joystick = Dante hall
Nigerian Nightmare = Christian Okoye
Snoop= Marvin Minnis
Mighty Mouse = Mark McMillan

That's all I've got. You've left out the worst nickname of all though, the "Centaur", Larry - soon to be without a job- Johnson. I'm curious to see who the other nicknames belong to.

I would assume the Mentor was Hank Stram.

Yep. Stram was known as "The Mentor."

Anybody got

President?
The Headhunter?
Rock?

BTW: The Tank was Robert Holmes. He was a huge hard running fullback during the late 1960s. He was like Pete Johnson or Mike Alstott, he was Christian Okoye before Christian Okoye. Huge, hard running. fought for every yard. Great heart, great player.

If you look at my post, you'll see I said Holmes.

I just quoted you, and added the names.

Headhunter wasn't Wesley, was it?

Nope. Think Super Bowl IV era.
BTW: This pick is an amazing coincidence. Both "The Headhunter" and Wesley went to the same college, Arkansas AM&N, now called Arkansas-Pine Bluff. That's amazing!
