Hint #3: One nickname has two words and the other nickname has one. I updated the OP with this hint.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

It was Pat Fischer.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Oh, and they were "Mouse"(I think) and "Mr. Peepers."

 

[Moonlight_Graham]

It was Pat Fischer.

Nope, not Fischer. Harold Carmichael once said Fischer was the toughest DB he ever faced, and we all know how tall Carmichael is and how short Fischer is.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

You may not have been thinking Fischer, but he fits all of the criteria.

 

[Moonlight_Graham]

You may not have been thinking Fischer, but he fits all of the criteria.

I've watched the NFL since the 60s and I've watched a lot of games with Fischer, and I don't ever recall him having one nickname, let alone two.ETA: I googled Fischer and nicknames and I finally found one that had "mouse" as his nickname. I can tell you that I've never heard him referred to as "mouse" , and I doubt if it was used very much.

Hint #4: He played with an HOF QB and they didn't get along.

 

[Moonlight_Graham]

Hint #5 - His name consists of two first names.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Did Jim Marshall have a pet nickname in addition to "Wrong Way" or "Iron Man"?

 

[Moonlight_Graham]

Did Jim Marshall have a pet nickname in addition to "Wrong Way" or "Iron Man"?

Yes, he was tagged with that nickname, but I dobut anyone ever called him that to his face.

 

[Andy Herron]

Before hints #4 and #5 were posted, I was thinking along the lines of:

Cowboys RB Walt Garrison

"puddin'", or "lil' puddin'."

And Lance Alworth

"Bambi"

Just couldn't recall a second one for either, although it seems Walt had one that I can't recall.

Nope, that's not correct.

This is not a good trivia question.

This is not a good trivia question.

Why, because you can't get it?

Mike Curtis?

 

[Moonlight_Graham]

Mike Curtis?

DING DING DING !!! We have a winner !! Good job Do you know his nicknames?

 

[Chase Stuart]

Mike Curtis?

He was the Mad Dog and the Animal. And he feuded with Unitas. I wouldn't say that most feel like he's a HOFer, though.

I did an extensive podcast on him here -- http://www.pro-football-reference.com/blog/?p=2911

So you don't think he's done enough to be a HOFer? He was pretty damn good.

No, because "Who was the NFL player who had two nicknames and what were they?" is impossibly vague, and then it took six strange clues to nail down the mostly arbitrary guy you were looking for.It's like if I asked "Who was the NFL QB who wore #16?" and then kept giving clues until you figured out I was talking about Mike Ernst.

Curtis was hardly arbitrary given the clues. Look if you didn't have anything worth while to say in this thread, why didn't you just ignore it?

As someone who asks a lot of bad trivia questions, even I think this one is not a good one.

Just like Ernst would hardly be arbitrary once I gave you six specific clues that described him. A good trivia question should highlight something unique and interesting. Having two nicknames is neither. But if you like it, I'm glad you got to ask it and have it answered. I apologize for offending you.

He was pretty damn good. I wouldn't say that most feel like he's a HOFer, though. Most probably go HOVG.
