Dear Coach Harbaugh, Do you remember this hit back in the day?...

Check out the hit at the 5:00 minute mark.

Best player I ever saw play. Lucky Brady, Manning, Rodgers didn't have to face this guy.

Can you imagine Lawrence Taylor playing during this era? He would only play half the season with the "ouch you touched me" rule for DEs against QBs. What a joke and most of those hits didn't effect a concussion. It was good, clean, tough, hardnosed FB. "74

Yes. It's amazing to watch the ferociousness of those hits. He was an ANIMAL on the field. Jaworski was petrified of LT.

Gosh he was a beast.
Who can even be compared to him nowadays?

He would have had a million dollars in fines for a career if he played now.

I don't think I saw one helmet-to-helmet in that whole bunch. Nice to see such explosiveness in just solid hard-nosed football. We have a 2018 verbal from a guy that uses explosive tackling in his game as well. I predict Otis Reese is going to be a fan favorite at Michigan. Safety star of the future. Can also cover one on one versus spread teams.
