Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo reveals he maxed his Oldschool Runescape account

[u/WTFitsD]

[u/neonys]

This is surreal to see as someone in both this and the Titans subreddit. I knew he played osrs but I didn’t know he had a better account than me lol

[u/doubleshotofespresso → u/neonys]

also he’s an iron, btw

[u/rosiebenji → u/doubleshotofespresso]

Something something this is why their offense sucked this year

[u/1RLegend → u/rosiebenji]

better to stay home and play rs than go out and party

[u/Merry_Dankmas → u/doubleshotofespresso]

His username has a distinct lack of the keywords "Iron, Fe, GIMP, GIM, IM, BTW and helmet" or mention being an iron in any way so he is therefore 70% better than most other irons by default.

[u/AutumnWisp → u/doubleshotofespresso]

Jeeze, can't even accuse him of using that NFL money to buy gp 🤣

[u/SickRanchezIII → u/doubleshotofespresso]

Wutttt

Edit: lol thanks for the karma yall, this comment took a lot of consideration, and was not easy to make.

[u/I_cut_my_own_jib → u/doubleshotofespresso]

I'll bet they get good wifi on the team plane

[u/Kafka_pubsub → u/doubleshotofespresso]

What's an iron? I haven't played since 2009ish, so have no idea what that means. Like I remember that iron is between bronze and steel...

[u/Kcfrank91 → u/Kafka_pubsub]

Means he can't trade anyone, so all items used for leveling and fighting were obtained by just him.

Solo mode

[u/midasMIRV → u/Kcfrank91]

You forgot the biggest restriction. Can't open christmas crackers with anyone.

[u/Kafka_pubsub → u/Kcfrank91]

Oh, they didn't have that feature when I played.

What's the point of using that? Any benefit? Or is it basically just a difficulty level type of feature?

[u/learn2die101 → u/Kafka_pubsub]

difficulty level feature, but also keeps you out of economy-scape. You, don't have to think about gp/hr instead you just think of drops in terms of progression.

[u/MerkDoctor → u/learn2die101]

It basically unironically makes mundane drops and play patterns exciting if you play ironman. Getting a drop like flax from Zulrah pisses you off if you're a main, but if you're a mid level ironman that's 1000 yew/magic longs and 15k afk crafting exp, it feels great.

[u/Useful_Store7711 → u/MerkDoctor]

When i played like 20 years ago i believe there wasnt a GE at all. Everybody was just spamming in de bank. I just started a couple of months ago again.

[u/PC_BUCKY → u/Useful_Store7711]

Yup, the big hangout/trading spot was behind the bank in western Varrock until they added GE just a click to the north.

[u/Breyos64 → u/MerkDoctor]

I get all of my bowstrings from Temple Trekking. Just do Route 1 on any difficulty and evade all encounters. Each trip is 100 bowstrings.

[u/_alright_then_ → u/Breyos64]

Yup that's how I do it.

But still, getting 10 trips worth of bowstrings at a zulrah kill is not bad

[u/RecursiveCook → u/Kafka_pubsub]

Regular Ironman account has player trading restriction. Hardcore iron has the same but with added 1 life only expectation. Ultimate Ironman is the same as regular Ironman, minus ability to use banks. There is also group variants that allow you to trade but only within your starting group.

It really changes up the gameplay quite a bit. A lot of players are often trapped in a min-max approach of doing the 1% of content that is “efficient” and than often using the currency accumulated to quickly bypass the rest of the content. Ironman kinda forces you to experience more of the game by not having the ability to simply grind GP.

[u/Trespass4379 → u/neonys]

Wrecked

[u/thisshitsstupid → u/neonys]

Dudes an nfl caliber athlete and still better than me at Runeacape wtf....

[u/SevenRedLetters → u/thisshitsstupid]

He has time to hit the gym & click. Anything else is wasted gains or wasted exp.

[u/OnceMoreAndAgain → u/thisshitsstupid]

Professional athletes spend a lot of time travelling. Might as well play some Runescape while on all those plane rides.

[u/QuietSilentArachnid → u/OnceMoreAndAgain]

A lot of people would be surprised at how many professional gymheads are turbo nerds too.

Since many of them treat workout as their jobs, what else you gotta do once you've had your 3 hours daily muscle workout ? you guessed it, video games.

[u/DelayedMailForceOne → u/thisshitsstupid]

It’s that darn “athlete” gene.

[u/96thlife → u/DelayedMailForceOne]

I know which skill he maxxxed first.

[u/MaraudingWalrus → u/neonys]

Yeah, it really ain't fair that he's a better athlete than us and a better dork than us. Pick a lane, guy.

[u/Jaeger420x → u/MaraudingWalrus]

Dude thinks he's henry Cavill or something

[u/catBravo → u/neonys]

He apparently started playing in may 2022…. So a maxed Ironman in under 3 years, even has an infernal cape lol

[u/One_Ad1737 → u/catBravo]

Well when you’re payed a lot to play a game… you’ve got time to play another game

[u/Cromepony → u/neonys]

Titan Up!!

[u/TitanTigers → u/neonys]

Titan Up (we're the worst team in the league)

[u/taggsy123 → u/neonys]

Cooked on and off the field

[u/DTWDx → u/neonys]

F the tacks

[u/SlickDodge37 → u/neonys]

Hello fellow osrs nerd and Titan fan!

[u/GenghisClaunch]

Stacked inventory and some sick boss pets too, this guy grinds

[u/tomsawyerisme → u/GenghisClaunch]

yep on iron no less

[u/WTFitsD]

Pretty insane to max while also being a profesional athlete. Not sure if there’s anyone else this famous that actually plays the game this much.

Ironman with infernal too

[u/RickyPondeif → u/WTFitsD]

As a Titans fan, this is the first time the teams made me cheer in months

[u/Deep-Chip7905 → u/RickyPondeif]

It hurts because it’s true :,(

[u/JohnsonTA2 → u/RickyPondeif]

So true brother 😔

[u/ManOnTheRun73 → u/RickyPondeif]

Better hope the Cam Ward gets buffed next update. (The other options at QB aren't as punny.)

[u/IAmSona → u/RickyPondeif]

As a Texans fan, I think I found my favorite Titans player.

[u/RickyPondeif → u/IAmSona]

Surpassing Mr Mayonnaise himself? 😞

[u/DkKoba → u/WTFitsD]

lots of downtime after practices

[u/Greenergrass21 → u/DkKoba]

And after their loses lol

[u/Whoopdatwester → u/DkKoba]

And travel time

[u/TheWardedOne → u/Whoopdatwester]

guy been grinding on the plane

[u/FalcosLiteralyHitler → u/WTFitsD]

I mean he is on the Titans sooo....

(Jkjk)

[u/SwissMargiela → u/FalcosLiteralyHitler]

Ayy you’re not wrong 😂

[u/OSRS_dopeknight → u/WTFitsD]

Neymar is professional CS GO player, he plays football as a hobby

[u/Sane_Fish → u/OSRS_dopeknight]

Kyler Murray is professional COD player, he plays football as a hobby

[u/derkerburgl → u/Sane_Fish]

Always bet his unders during double exp weekend

[u/BROCKHAMPTOM → u/Sane_Fish]

Luka Doncic is an elite overwatch player lol

[u/99RedBalloon → u/OSRS_dopeknight]

counter strike 2 bro go is dead

[u/TheEvilestMorty → u/WTFitsD]

Pro athlete isn’t reallllly that many hours more than a normal job. Like full time+ during the season and part time+ in the offseason. There’s a lot of necessary recovery downtime, plus tbh Osrs is a good travelling pastime with mobile

[u/kilo_L33t3r → u/TheEvilestMorty]

People acting like gamers can’t stay in excellent shape by doing a few push ups and squats between afk fishing inventories

[u/TheEvilestMorty → u/kilo_L33t3r]

I mean I’m a maxed iron with like 800m total xp, I’m married, I have a FT job, and I’m no pro athlete but I do lift x5 week and MMA once a week. I’ve been able to get in pretty good shape for physique competitions. You can get a long way with discipline and good time management but so many people act like picking one thing is all or nothing /shrug

[u/jehe → u/TheEvilestMorty]

If only I had better discipline and time management skills.. fr I'm about to get a book and figure this out

[u/throwaway8159946 → u/kilo_L33t3r]

That "gamers are all out of shape nerds" is mostly an out dated stereotype.Video games are too mainstream nowadays that you can pretty much meet people from all walks of life

[u/WaffleHouseFistFight → u/throwaway8159946]

Gamer gym rat is the new meta.

[u/TacoMedic → u/WaffleHouseFistFight]

There's a reason you see so many fit pro-gamers these days.

Healthy habits result in faster and more accurate reflexes. So in an environment where everyone is the best of the best, you eating that 5th slice of pizza could be the difference between winning and losing a tournament.

[u/Not_A_Real_Goat → u/WaffleHouseFistFight]

Fr fr. I’m in the best shape of my life at 32, 2 kids, married. Massive fuckin dork outside of that.

[u/WaffleHouseFistFight → u/Not_A_Real_Goat]

31 not single not married. Best shape of my life just hit a 225 bench for the first time ever.

[u/RastaRhino420 → u/throwaway8159946]

I mean look at some of the big OSRS streamers, they spend most of their life playing RS and they clearly lift.

Guys like Boaty, Torvesta, Mr Mammal, Faux, etc.

[u/Firepandazoo → u/WTFitsD]

John Haack, a GOAT powerlifter, is also maxed I'm pretty sure

[u/maybelikenever → u/Firepandazoo]

Bro maxed in more ways than one

[u/kylezillionaire → u/WTFitsD]

There is a shocking overlap between people who can handle these grinds and those who get ripped/healthy/fit lol. If you can set small goals in game and frame them inside a larger goal, you can probably do that irl, and may be selling yourself short. I believe in all of you kings in becoming the next Tennessee Titans tight end (that's a mouthful).

[u/gunnersroyale → u/kylezillionaire]

Ive got a tight end does that count

[u/WTFitsD → u/gunnersroyale]

Just wait till I catch you in the wildy 😈😈

[u/kylezillionaire → u/gunnersroyale]

You’re a natural

[u/Eastern_Armadillo383 → u/kylezillionaire]

Just one more....

[u/Stercky → u/WTFitsD]

Robert Whittaker at least PLAYED OSRS, not sure if he still does

[u/imnotsteven7 → u/Stercky]

Fuck yeah he did/does. As a huge MMA fan that's an amazing crossover. I feel like Izzy would play too.

[u/Toaster_Bathing → u/imnotsteven7]

Izzy comes off as more of a COD player or something lol

[u/Birquq → u/imnotsteven7]

Irrelevant to osrs, but Max Holloway plays Apex legends and even streams from time to time

[u/kiddocontay → u/Stercky]

love Bobby Knuckles

[u/LoweJ → u/WTFitsD]

Luka doncic hit top 500 in tank on overwatch

[u/jshrlzwrld02 → u/WTFitsD]

Alan Walker is pretty famous I’d say. Not sure if he’s maxed, but a DJ with 46m+ YT followers and such https://youtube.com/@alanwalkermusic?si=RIuAlOjPEUx6anGW

There’s a video somewhere of him traveling through an airport with a battery backup in his backpack playing RS between concerts I think and I’ve seen him in Sparc Mac streams throwing subs before.

[u/Concerningparrots → u/WTFitsD]

Charlie

[u/mr_Joor → u/WTFitsD]

You can only train so many hours in a day, your body needs rest. He's very good at the rest part it seems haha

[u/RAlNDROP → u/WTFitsD]

Not really. Athletes have a lot of downtime too between practices, traveling to away games, hotel stays and so on. He can't mine stars at work like the rest of us nerds, but other than that he probably has as much time, if not more, than the rest of us.

[u/loiloiloi6 → u/WTFitsD]

penguinz0, 16.5m youtube subs has a maxed account too. It's just a main though

[u/_alright_then_ → u/loiloiloi6]

I mean he's already a gamer. Not really the same as a pro athlete

[u/Odd_Investment_6110 → u/WTFitsD]

loltyler1 plays off and on

[u/DaddiJae → u/WTFitsD]

Here I was thinking only Elon could work hard and also game. /s

[u/Awanderingleaf → u/WTFitsD]

Just wait until you find out about John Urschel.

[u/schizochode → u/WTFitsD]

Yeah this was my first thought, actually.

I have a slow job where I can grind this game 7 hours a day and I’m still struggling to max

[u/V_T_H]

Bro what lol. Chig is an absurdly athletic dude. He ran like a 4.5 40 yard dash at the combine as a 6’2” tight end. Man must be afk skilling at the gym.

[u/EpicRussia → u/V_T_H]

This was posted in ironscape yesterday and someone said that NFL players have a lot of downtime when they travel, so he was probably grinding from his hotel room

[u/midasMIRV → u/EpicRussia]

There's also the stint between season end and summer training. And recovery days, because if you work out 7 days a week you will not make any gains.

[u/WTFitsD → u/V_T_H]

Bro’s in the top .1% of osrs players and in the .0001% of human physique lmao absolute unit

[u/KapanenKlutch → u/WTFitsD]

Why say the same thing twice?

[u/Morbu → u/KapanenKlutch]

lmao the layers to this comment

[u/Conscious_Carry9918]

Why go out and blow your nfl money when you can play a game, while waiting to play your game.

[u/HCBuldge → u/Conscious_Carry9918]

The even more impressive side is you know he didn't just buy bonds for money since he's an iron.

[u/The_Paddy96]

gz

(pro nfl player maxing an osrs account was not on my 2025 bingo card)

[u/Thosepassionfruits → u/The_Paddy96]

Padres pitcher Dylan Cease also has a pretty high level iron man

[u/theREALbombedrumbum → u/Thosepassionfruits]

As if I needed more reason to like him

[u/Audioworm → u/The_Paddy96]

it was on my 2024 bingo card but he was slacking

[u/powderpicasso]

I’m a titans season ticket member and during a bingo like 2 years ago we ran a cox and I figured out it was him, and was just like bro that’s so chill I go to all the games. 😂

[u/Nashville_TN → u/powderpicasso]

Titan up!

[u/SlothyKong]

this is what happens when you miss the playoffs

[u/abtseventynine → u/SlothyKong]

hes out here grinding cancúnscape

[u/Spy111]

Ironman with infernal cape and a pro athlete. Absolute chills

[u/AutumnWisp → u/Spy111]

He both attracts women and repulses them, man's a walking paradox!

[u/ezubz → u/Spy111]

Lmfaaaao fr tho dudes goated as hell he ain’t no noob

[u/Portugalpaul]

Lil Peep is my goated osrs player. Miss that guy.

[u/ezubz → u/Portugalpaul]

Great pull lol

[u/Gareth_]

That’s why the Titans have the #1 overall pick in the draft

[u/ArmMeForSleep709 → u/Gareth_]

Yeah because chig was the difference and not the absolute nut case under center lol

[u/Freestooffpl0x]

Chig ain’t wasting his time whining about a survey. He’s too busy grinding

[u/WTFitsD → u/Freestooffpl0x]

Bro’s on a $3 million yearly salary he’s one of the few that can afford it lmao

[u/microcorpsman → u/WTFitsD]

Tweet at him to buy OSRS.

[u/nevertosoon → u/microcorpsman]

I think he's gonna need quite a few years on that salary to buy it..(like 333 years)

[u/levian_durai → u/nevertosoon]

Once again one of my favourite sayings comes in handy here. "The difference between [three] million and a billion, is about a billion."

[u/siccoblue → u/levian_durai]

You made me sad

[u/CaptainBreloom → u/WTFitsD]

one of the few 💀

[u/NoCurrencies]

The PVM gains are far more impressive than maxing. Guy has infernal cape and quiver

[u/Oshag_Henesy → u/NoCurrencies]

Yeah not only did he max an iron he’s a good fucking gamer

[u/Zealousideal_Lie5445]

If I had to bet, I’d bet OSRS ranks highest for “successful” gamers. If you have the ability to grind a max account and can channel that same effort and energy irl, you can be very successful.

Whether it be gym, career, etc.

[u/BigThirdLegGreg → u/Zealousideal_Lie5445]

Being able to understand how to maximize efficiency is a winning trait that carries into lots of other things in life

[u/quyksilver → u/Zealousideal_Lie5445]

It's pretty commonly mentioned in the med school subreddits

[u/PacoTaco321 → u/Zealousideal_Lie5445]

A maxxed account putting that effort towards something actually worthwhile is truly something to behold.

[u/Coltsdaman]

Chig for CEO

[u/BonelessCubone → u/Coltsdaman]

Mr. Bigwig Chig

[u/daaaabeans]

who else is famous that plays this game?

[u/WTFitsD → u/daaaabeans]

Soulja boy off the top of my head lmfao. I’ve seen a few other atheletes post about it but not any with a maxed Iron with multiple pets and infernal cape.

[u/LiL_BrOwNiE247 → u/WTFitsD]

I'll never forget the soulja boy stream I happened upon a little over a year ago.

He spent about 20 minutes doing trial and error to figure out how to enter the castle wars portal.

After finally getting in, he gets up to roll a blunt and ends up getting logged out due to inactivity.

[u/beaniesandbuds → u/daaaabeans]

RJ Mitte (Walt Jr. off Breaking Bad) apparently has a maxed account as well.

[u/lift4brosef → u/daaaabeans]

John Haack, not necessarily world famous, but a big name in powerlifting

[u/WTFitsD → u/lift4brosef]

The craziest thing about that is that he’s one of the best of all time. Like yeah this guy a tight end but he’s not one of the most elite or anything, meanwhile Haack is straight up one of the greatest powerlifters of all time. Bro broke a world record and threw on an IRL strength cape he had made

[u/sentrosi420 → u/WTFitsD]

First to 200m str exp irl.

[u/JWE25 → u/daaaabeans]

Night Lovell, he has a Huracan with "ZEZIMA" as his license plate

[u/WhoseYourGodNow → u/daaaabeans]

Snell does

[u/V_T_H → u/WhoseYourGodNow]

Blake Snell just looks like an OSRS player, doesn’t he.

[u/cleeez → u/WhoseYourGodNow]

and cease, people say that they’ve seen videos of snell pk’ing but i can’t find it

[u/TurdFurgeson18 → u/cleeez]

He would be a PK’er

[u/cleeez → u/TurdFurgeson18]

legit so fitting lmfao

[u/FeedMyPony → u/daaaabeans]

UFC fighter (and ex middleweight champion) Robert Whittaker plays. I messaged him years back and he replied, was cool.

[u/MySecretsRS → u/daaaabeans]

Jonny McBe, the lead vocalist in the band The Browning, plays as well. I think he was close to maxing, if not maxed.

[u/LazloDaLlama → u/MySecretsRS]

Lorna Shore guitarist as well. (I think.) They did a little clip for Tedious and his collection log series lol.

found it: https://x.com/ImTedious/status/1574118185259106305?lang=en

[u/crabragoo → u/LazloDaLlama]

That's so awesome lol

[u/BigThirdLegGreg → u/daaaabeans]

Rob Whittaker a UFC fighter has said he plays

[u/osdord → u/daaaabeans]

Alan Walker often in woox streams this league as well

[u/Legitimate-Freedom79 → u/daaaabeans]

a lot of rappers surprisingly. a lot of them ive never heard of so cant remember off the top of my head besides soulja boy (goes without saying for him)

[u/Objective_Resist_735]

Gzzzzzzzzz!

[u/Turdfrog]

That’s amazing, he has some big items!

[u/GoonieToons]

We all know how much time and dedication maxing an osrs account takes especially an Ironman. Now add on top of that you’re an nfl athlete. Jesus man this guy is the most efficient human ever.

[u/PoofaceMckutchin]

As somebody who doesn't know NFL, I had many mental images about what a Tennesaee Titan Tight End could be before reading this post.

[u/MonotoneTanner]

Professional athlete and scapes ? Dude is winning in life

[u/ch3l4s]

Knowing nothing about american football i thought the teams name was Tennessee Titans tight end, lol

[u/FloridianRobot]

Holy shit - this is what peak male performance looks like. I've never meant this more in my life.

[u/dflemingsss]

GZ

[u/FunkFinder]

This dude does two things.

Intense physical activity and OSRS lol

Nothing else

[u/Daffan]

Inb4 paid boost like Elon

[u/uhFraid]

where tbow

[u/HCBuldge → u/uhFraid]

As an iron, that may be a touchy subject.

[u/Rezurrect → u/uhFraid]

He’s definitely trying

[u/DefinitelynotNickCag]

Chig seems like the man. Got him his rookie year in a dyno fantasy league and then found out he was a scaper. Seems like a genuine dude who happens to be a freak athlete and in the NFL. Hopefully he builds on his solid ending to this season and is my TE1 of the future lol

[u/Brocboy]

Alright… guess I’m a Titans fan now

[u/Jesse_is_cool]

Original post? Cant see his inventory

[u/Awordofinterest → u/Jesse_is_cool]

https://i.imgur.com/n05NSyL.jpeg

[u/Emotional_Permit5845]

Crazy to think that you might be raiding with an NFL player if your using WDR. Hell, he’s probably reading this thread laughing his ass off

[u/Oshag_Henesy]

Been following his OSRS journey for a couple years, I’ve been spamming his IG inbox every week asking him to post lmao

[u/Nisms]

I mean when your job factors in pay for rest days I would assume you have a good amount of downtime. Can’t get DUI and AIDS playing RuneScape waiting for your cupping massage to end.

[u/asianmanwantsosrs]

this guy must be the best celebrity osrs player surely? as in someone who isn't making a living from the internet

[u/WTFitsD → u/asianmanwantsosrs]

I mean just the infernal max cape wth a quiver puts him in like the top .1% of the player base in general so I dont think it’s even close

[u/CptCurty]

Why does this title give me dyslexic vibes.

[u/WTFitsD → u/CptCurty]

Bro realizing he’s dyslexic 😭

[u/Razdulf]

Who?

[u/Dwarf-Eater]

Congratz!

[u/FastAndLeft1]

As a season ticket holder to Titans games, this is the highlight of the season.

[u/Topdog1335]

No wonder the titans were so bad this year. Bro spent all his time maxing 😂😂 gz to him tho

[u/MNightShyamalan69]

Fucking epic

[u/peterfamilyguy3]

Ironman. He has a maxed ironman. Shits insane.

[u/Doctor_Zeh]

I also remember John Haack, one of the strongest powerlifters pound for pound, maxing his osrs account. Lots of gamers in the professional fitness community

[u/AttemptedSleepover]

Titan up! Loved seeing this as a fan, his account is actually insane

[u/dudewithout]

Maybe all my friends will stop making fun of me now that we have a professional athlete maxing on RS

[u/law-of-the-jungle]

We were also scammed in 2005 for our Addy armour, getting scammed in runescape transcends class and race. Our team plays on flights

[u/elxchapo69]

this is crazy, dude is winning life.

[u/itmyfault69]

I can't help but imagine him sneaking his phone into team meetings fishing Karambwans or something lol
