Dadi L'homme Nicolas (born September 29, 1992) is a Haitian former professional gridiron football defensive end.

He played college football at Virginia Tech, and was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL draft.

[1] During that year, he played for head coach Chris Bean at Atlantic High School and had 70 tackles, 11 sacks, four forced fumbles, and two pass break-ups.

[3] Nicolas began his career with the Virginia Tech Hokies by receiving a redshirt designation while training at the defensive end position.

[2] During May of that year Nicolas was arrested in relation to a bike stolen from the campus dining hall and charged with felony second-degree grand larceny and was indefinitely suspended from the team.

[4] He was reinstated to the team on August 30 of that year after the charges were reduced to misdemeanor petty larceny, to which Nicolas plead not guilty.

[5] He began his first year of eligibility by receiving the Richard Bullock award for most improved player on the defense in spring practice.

During the second game of the year, he had two sacks against Ohio State and was named the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Defensive Lineman of the Week for his efforts.

[6] In his final year with Virginia Tech, Nicolas spent the majority of it rehabilitating a hand that was broken during spring training, an injury that he played with in the regular season.

This suspension stemmed from an incident in which Nicolas made contact with referee Ron Cherry following a penalty being declared on him.

[9] Lance Zierlein of NFL.com commented that he had quick pass rush moves that can catch slower players off guard.

[9] Adam Teicher of ESPN.com commented that he was too light to play on the defensive line and he'd have to add some weight to be a viable outside linebacker.

The Chiefs believed they could use him at the linebacker position while Justin Houston continued recovery from ACL surgery.

[14] On September 2, 2017, Nicolas was placed on the physically unable to perform list to start the 2017 season due to the injury suffered in January.

[28] After the CFL canceled the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Nicolas chose to opt-out of his contract with the Stampeders on August 26, 2020.
