Wonderful Terrific Monds Jr. (born May 3, 1952) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive back for one season with the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, earning first-team All-American honors his senior year in 1976. He was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fourth round of the 1976 NFL draft but instead signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL) after receiving a better offer. After spending the beginning of the 1976 season on the injured list, Monds was cut by Toronto and signed by the Ottawa Rough Riders. He helped the Rough Riders win the 64th Grey Cup later that year. After two years in Ottawa, he played in all 16 games for the San Francisco 49ers in 1978 as a backup defensive back. Monds rejoined the Rough Riders in 1979 and retired after the season. He was inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame in 2001. He has also attracted attention due to his unique name.
