I'll add Beast Mode to the list of missing nicknames.

I don’t know that we can really own beast mode, he took those talents elsewhere and is most well known for those powers there. 

What about “half in the bag”?

According to this article and video, he was called "YAC" by Marv Levy and I guess others too:

 

https://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/07/marv-levy-hall-of-fame-ceremony

 

"Marv Levy won’t be presenting Andre Reed as part of the 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame class for a little over two weeks, but the longtime Buffalo Bills coach and Hall of Famer himself has already wrapped up most of his duties in memorializing the receiver he used to call “YAC.”

Don't forget TinkerBell. 

Wasn't Steve Christie more or less known as Bigfoot? Or did I just make that up?
