Wonderful Terrific Monds Jr. (born May 3, 1952) is an American former professional football defensive back who played one season with the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). His unusual name was originally given to his father when, after his grandparents had several girls, a son was finally born and his father thought it was "wonderful, just terrific."[citation needed]
Monds attended Fort Pierce Central High School in Fort Pierce, Florida and played college football at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fourth round of the 1976 NFL draft. He was also a member of the Ottawa Rough Riders team that won the 64th Grey Cup.
Monds is the father of former NFL defensive tackle Mario Monds. Another son, Wonderful Terrific Monds III, was a Minor League Baseball player.[1]
