I used to have the sweetest partridge Pekin cockerel, he wa so kind and gentle. I now have 2 pekin x dutch bantam cockerels, one is very sweet the other quite fiesty. He used to attack my shoes/ legs, but not ferociously. Probably because they weren't with the flock at the time, so didn't interact with me much. I think it depends on the bird, some are sweet and some are sour.
