Pretty cool, Christian Okoye was the player who drew me into being a Chiefs fan when I was a young teenaager and first playing the game of Football myself. I used to love his smash mouth style. Seems like he's a pretty good guy, too rather than be bitter of only having a 6 year career, he's found a way to have a lasting legacy in the community.

Can you imagine being a blitzing linebacker through the A gap and see Barry Word leading for Cristian Okoye?

I recall his second best hit to the one vs GB in the superbowl, knocking 3 players out.

Most impressive Broncos hit ever to me was Al wilson on 4th and 1 vs Ritchie. He sent him backwards 6 feet in the air.
