**Ed Reed would rather talk about the NFL safeties who came before him** (Domonique Foxworth, The Undefeated)
In 1990, Reed watched the Week 2 Monday night game, Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos, when 253-pound Chiefs running back Christian "The Nigerian Nightmare" Okoye, who had become an All-Pro by barreling over and through defenders, rumbled into the Broncos' defensive backfield. In just his second season, the 218-pound Atwater did the unimaginable: He met Okoye head to head. And knocked him back.
"He was a 'Woo!' hitter," Reed said of the eight-time Pro Bowler, two-time first-team All-Pro and two-time Super Bowl champion. "He was one of the guys I looked up to, but Ronnie Lott was my guy."
