Christian Okoye Career Highlights || "Nigerian Nightmare" 

Okoye was pretty good not only in real life, but in the video game world too. I remember using him in Super Tecmo Bowl quite often. Okoye, Bo Jackson, Barry Sanders, and QB Eagles were the best runners in the game.

It was rough being a Seahawks fan back then. This guy was most definitely a nightmare for the AFC West.

Could you imagine trying to stop this man at 4th and Goal? Monster hope he gets a Madden Card this year that's worth using

That's just not fair, I mean c'mon man, 255 Ibs and runs a 4 380 . WOW 😲

I met Christian IRL once. Such a humble, wonderful young man.

Super Tecmo Bowl had him right, lol! 😁

Although I was and still current Broncos fan. Back then with Steve DeBerg and Christian in the backfield the Chiefs was actually unstoppable. Steve DeBerg always made the Chiefs hand out problems to the opposing team with that *PLAY ACTION FAKE* . Playing against the Chiefs, you have to think *run* first then Steve will kill you with the pass fooling everyone including the cameraman. *Thanks for the memories*

This man is a beast and the great east chiefs half back ever. To add on to the comment before this, there was another really good rushing qb that might have been even faster than qb eagles in Tecmo super bowl, and it was the backup for the lions , Andre ware so go use him he’s a decent passer tooo

Like Bo Jackson. Okoye's talent was never fully tapped into. Only if he'd started playing in highschool and drafted at 21-22 years and get 10 or 12 years out of him. I'll take the 6 years we got but boy it would've been nice to get more.

“Uh-Koy-Yuh” 🤦‍♂️ y’all killin me

I’m from Nashville they was talking about him this past week he’s big but he is definitely not better than Derrick Henry. Henry is a rare specimen

I know it might come across as a relatively small thing, but they really couldn’t be bothered to say his name right at all? I see this all the time and it kinda irks me that this continues to happen. They should’ve given the man the respect he deserves.

I appreciate the effort in making the video, but I think the title should be "Okoye plays I was able to get footage of".. I mean come on, this man was a terror. Way too many 3-5 yd runs in this video that every back in the league would make. Literally just played footage of the runs you could find. I get that, but don't title it his career highlights. Hopefully the youngsters watching this understand that these ARE NOT his CAREER highlights!

A poor man's Derrick Henry.

260lbs and the fastest guy on the team. There is a reason people still talk about him today, tho his career was short.

Okoye was a beast of of a player he was a g.o.a.t. in his life miss you bro

I miss fullbacks. The passing game has become the NFL's version of the slam dunk. It was exciting for a while, but now it's just boring

They should've named him the juggernaut.

Very underrated running back. Hard to compete against guys like Mack, Byner, Smith and Sanders

Cool to see the old school pro offense. He was a beast and why I became a Chiefs fan.

This man was a beast. Just ask anyone who played Tecmo Superbowl, lol.

Okoye was a beast! I saw him play vs the Dolphins in the 1990 Wild Card game in Miami. But I HAVE to give mad props to the Chiefs offensive line.......WOW, those guys were badass!!!! They just destroyed every defensive line they faced........a hat on a hat. I'm a Dolphins fan, but I love and admire greatness.

The original Nigerian Nightmare 💪🏿💪🏿

I don't think we'll ever see a runningback built like okoye ever again in the NFL closest to him in derrick Henry but even than it's not the same

Scary... he left a trail of bodies after every run

You noticed once he gets tackled ain't no defenders standing over him taunting him like " yeah what "" lol!! Nothing but respect, they KNOW the JOB at hand!!!!!

Cortez Kennedy and steve Atwater had what it took to tackle him one on one. Maybe not everytime but they definitely hit him just as hard

My favorite part of football was always a lower scoring game 2 physical teams and a great offensive line dominating with a great power runner like Okoye just taking control of the game, sure if you break a 70 yard against a defense it hurts but if a big back chews up those same 70 yards in 8 or 9 plays it is devestating

I remember... that dude was AWESOME... and the first tackler NEVER got him down... it was usually the third or a whole gang that finally took The Nightmare down.... defensive lineman? No Problem, knock him down and head for the Next Obstacle in the way.... wish he hadn't retired so soon.....

Interesting to see the runs against Denver. Atwater got a lot of mileage out of that ONE tackle, no one mentions how many times Okoye ran through that entire Broncos defense.

Okoye makes lots of subtle cuts and finds the hole He makes them miss before the runs over them

Absolutely loved watching him run and break multiple tackles, sure he had a great o-line, the beast was 250 lbs. Plus!! I miss the sounds of those games on t.v. during that era, it was like the announcers were on the field.

Prime okoye > prime henry

What a talent!!!👍😎

CO was the best running back KC has ever had, IMO

Announcer: not one man can bring him down Steve Atwater: allow me to introduce myself

He had a severe lack of football knowledge and you still can’t stop him.

I was expecting highlights, not 12 minutes of 3-5 yard runs.

I loved Okoye when played, but in retrospect he was a better story than a football player.

Bosworth Seattle Seahawks #55 is ran over by the Kansas City Chiefs Tail/Full back,” The Nigerian Nightmare”, once he was across the line of scrimmage and bouncing linebackers off him the secondary needs a prayer!! IMO My Top 10 Tail Backs;1. Walter Payton ,2.Christian Okoye,3.Tony Dorset, 4.Billy Sims, 5.Eric Dickerson, 6.Larry Csonka, 7.O.J. Simpson, 8.Jim Brown, 9.Emmitt Smith and 10. Roger Craig

Yes one of my favorite running backs Named my GSD Okoye!!!

WAIT - kamaru usman is not the original nigerian nightmare?!?!

His pads are so big on some of these grainy highlights it looks like he has no head.....lmao!

Got 2 words: STEVE ATWATER!! 🤣🤣🤣

Rumbling and Stumbling, the person.

2nd only to Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl

Pretty amazing for a guy that had never played football until he was 23. Imagine how good he would have been if he grew up playing football.

These should be career highlights, you could have removed all the 4 ,5 , 7 yard runs that were just average, with no real big tackle breaks , js

Okoyah?lol

Okoye and and The Diesel was the 2 all time best at punishing defenses

He was supposed to be a 49er after we lost Joe Montana

God I miss football...

He needs rest.

Tecmo Bowl God.

He had a pretty damn good blocker too, Barry Word.

Steve Atwater: "Sit down son!"

He had a great career until that Atwater hit.

🗑

I wish football was still like this just ruthless

Steve Atwater smoked him
