Art Still was a consensus All-American during his time at Kentucky (1974-77), and he wasted no time proving himself in the big leagues. Third all-time in sacks for the Kansas City Chiefs, getting away from the big man was nightmarish for opposing QBs. His career stats are phenomenal, but they don't tell the whole story. Many of his big-time plays don't exist on the record books, as sacks weren't recorded until his fifth year in the big leagues.

It takes a special talent to strike fear into the hearts of opposing teams the way Art Still did. His legacy is one that uber-talented players, such as the Chiefs' current defensive anchor Chris Jones, are still living up to.
