Totally agree Bullhead. Other players legitimately feared his off-the-charts ferocity. Not many players achieve that type of status and, to be honest, he wouldn’t have earned that sort of standing were he not an extremely talented and instinctively brilliant athlete. Truly, one of a kind.I used to watch him create havoc all over the field
And lay the hardest hits I've ever seen
Other players feared him and for good reason
RIP Dick
Damn, I remember those Eagle helmets.LMAO! The eagles dude that knocked the ball out of his hand. LIVID!
ThisIt was a different game then; no camaraderie, more viciousness. Some players seemed larger than life. Butkus was one.
