I could put two fingers inside his super bowl rings. The old timers claimed he was the toughest guy to ever step on the field.
He was a certifiable bad jazz on the football field.
He was, but IMHO, the baddest of the bad was, & given what the game has turned now, will be forever, Dick Butkus.
Nobody even really close. He would lost a quarter under today's pussified rules, not for being dirty, just for kickin' the schitt outta people & roughing them up by trying to tear their heads off.
But Randy White maybe takes a 2nd place, he was a smart brute & could have been even better if they'ed let him play middle linebacker.
As for non-defensive badasses, pretty hard to argue against Earl Campbell..............not much sense, but he was tough.
MM
Good arguments can be made for those, for sure, and I loved Earl. I'll stick with EJ. Such a badass he played both sides of the ball....center and MLB.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
