A Nightmare on Elm Street: The 15 Scariest Athletes of All-Time

What is a better way to celebrate the release of the new Nightmare on Elm Street movie than to compare this classic horror series to famous athletes. Some athletes have natural talent while others combine that talent with fear. They use fear to intimidate opponents and scare them before the game is even played. Like Freddie Krueger, the athletes on my list scare opponents while they sleep the night before the big game. Whoever the opposition, these athletes will keep anyone up at night. "I try to catch him right on the tip of the nose, because I try to push the bone into the brain." Mike Tyson said this to scare anyone willing to step into the ring with him. I have compiled a list of the scariest, creepiest, most intimidating athletes of all time. Enjoy!
