Steve Atwater was the heir apparent to the strong safety position of the Denver Broncos from another hard-hitter in Dennis Smith. While Smith was great, Atwater became one of the most ferocious hitters of not only his time but of all time, being named to the 1990’s All-Decade first team. His signature hit was very likely when he stuffed Christian Okoye of the Kansas City Chiefs — the Nigerian Nightmare himself — at the line of scrimmage on a critical third down run.
