Jim Brown, one of the toughest running backs ever, would sit in his hotel room and cry the night before he'd play the Bears. Butkus embodied everything about a football player. RIP #51.

I don’t get it. Earl Campbell needs to be in any conversation regarding the greatest RB’s. If you were watching football from 78 to 83 Earl was dominant. Houston gave him the ball and stood around and watched a slight exaggeration but not really he was Mashawn way before Marshawn. He was Adrian Peterson way before Adrian he would’ve had 2000 yards if he played 16 games I believe in 1980. He was the Houston Oilers without him. That team was 500 at best. He didn’t run behind Tony Dorsett, Dallas Cowboys Walter Payton was very special but I’ve never seen anybody quite like Earl Campbell on the Mount Rushmore and I don’t understand why he isn’t talked about like that is only played For five years, he didn’t have the Los Angeles Rams offensive line like Eric Dickerson, and Eric Dickerson was special. He didn’t have Emmett Smith Dallas Cowboys offensive line. If he did, he might still be playing the most devastating running back I’ve ever seen

Unless a team is trying to stop the clock I truly despise watching the ball carriers running out of bounds in order to avoid taking a hit. In a game of inches if a player at 6' tall stayed in bounds and just fell forward that would be an extra two yards on every play (theoretically of course). Regardless, even if they only fell forward for a couple of feet it would add up over three downs (or four if the team goes for it on 4th down) nevermind over the course of the game! I love it in the preseason watching RB's and WR's that are just trying to make the team. Whenever I see one who mans-up by dropping his shoulder, cutting back inside taking on the defender one on one, staying in bounds? I know that player has heart and quietly root for him to make the team as its players like that who make the difference between a winning team and a losing team. Each persons effort matters and these coaches and players just don't seem to get it that players will play how they practice!!! Back before the players union got in the way, training camps had full uniforms on for most of it and players would be tackling and hitting throughout camp. Now sure, there were injuries but there are even more injuries now within the first three games because players are not in 'football shape' and 'being in shape' and 'being in football shape' aren't even close to being the same thing. Anyone who has played the game at a team level knows that. The players have gotten bigger and stronger but they are also a LOT softer mentally and will sit out of a practice or game for the slightest injuries. I blame it on greed. Greed of the owners and greed of the players. Why was it that players were a helluva lot tougher before all of these safety rules and before they made millions of dollars annually? It will likely never happen, but these team owners should be trying to sell the stadiums out for every game. They CAN do that if they charged a fair amount for a seat and parking yet they refuse to. Sure, players wouldn't get 40 million dollars a year but I'm willing to bet that they would likely play for $500,000 as 99.9% would never make that in a regular secular job. Greed... always a killer of everything good.

My top 10 scariest players in the NFL whether they are offensive players or defensive players…Many of these competitors were amongst the best at their position, as well as being intimidating, which only added to their lure. The art of intimidation can be a useful tactic in the NFL, as players with a reputation of being feared can easily get in the heads of their opponents and throw them off their game.

Let me explain to Tatum how he became the “villain” in the Stingley hit. It’s called getting paid a bounty from Al Davis for putting players out of the game. Not for great plays but for actually injuring players. I can’t believe that you left Ronnie Lott off the list. He was, if not the one of the hardest hitting players period, the most savage defensive back to ever play the game. He also had a passion for playing that’s unparalleled. How many players have, at their own request, had a finger amputated so they could continue to play? Answer? ONE and his name is Ronnie Lott. Now THAT is dedication to playing folks.

No Deacon Jones?? They say had they kept sack stats for his entire career, he would hold the all-time sack record. His head slap left many an O lineman's ears ringing. He even coined the term "sack", that's how synonymous he is with the QB sack.
I know right?
Deacon Jones the lynch pin that fortified the "Fearsome Foursome" they were an exceptional D-line
Earl Campbell, was the most electrifying and powerful running back to ever play that position. He sacrificed his body like no one else ever. Give him the respect he deserves.
And he was targeted by all teams after his first year .. fav running backs of all time Earl Campbell and Walter Payton .. both were humble too .. just did the job
I don’t get it. Earl Campbell needs to be in any conversation regarding the greatest RB’s. If you were watching football from 78 to 83 Earl was dominant. Houston gave him the ball and stood around and watched a slight exaggeration but not really he was Mashawn way before Marshawn. He was Adrian Peterson way before Adrian he would’ve had 2000 yards if he played 16 games I believe in 1980. He was the Houston Oilers without him. That team was 500 at best. He didn’t run behind Tony Dorsett, Dallas Cowboys Walter Payton was very special but I’ve never seen anybody quite like Earl Campbell on the Mount Rushmore and I don’t understand why he isn’t talked about like that is only played For five years, he didn’t have the Los Angeles Rams offensive line like Eric Dickerson, and Eric Dickerson was special. He didn’t have Emmett Smith Dallas Cowboys offensive line. If he did, he might still be playing the most devastating running back I’ve ever seen

In my opinion, Lawrence Taylor was the scariest defensive player I have ever seen. Watching from home, I was always terrified on behalf of the opposing quarterback. For offense, Larry Csonka was amazing. He could run up the middle in a play that the defense read perfectly... And still make ten yards.
Lies again? Halloween Horror Nights USD SGD
Yeah, Csonka was special. He'd even put the second arm over the football, which you almost never see anybody do, and just plow straight ahead....That was one POWERFUL man. He has to be in the top 3 or 4 among the really large running backs of all time, along with Earl Campbell and Jerome Bettis...But I don't know if anybody thrived on contact the way Csonka did. He played a man's game.

@@jonathanbennett4233 thanks. I will
Unless a team is trying to stop the clock I truly despise watching the ball carriers running out of bounds in order to avoid taking a hit. In a game of inches if a player at 6' tall stayed in bounds and just fell forward that would be an extra two yards on every play (theoretically of course). Regardless, even if they only fell forward for a couple of feet it would add up over three downs (or four if the team goes for it on 4th down) nevermind over the course of the game! I love it in the preseason watching RB's and WR's that are just trying to make the team. Whenever I see one who mans-up by dropping his shoulder, cutting back inside taking on the defender one on one, staying in bounds? I know that player has heart and quietly root for him to make the team as its players like that who make the difference between a winning team and a losing team. Each persons effort matters and these coaches and players just don't seem to get it that players will play how they practice!!! Back before the players union got in the way, training camps had full uniforms on for most of it and players would be tackling and hitting throughout camp. Now sure, there were injuries but there are even more injuries now within the first three games because players are not in 'football shape' and 'being in shape' and 'being in football shape' aren't even close to being the same thing. Anyone who has played the game at a team level knows that. The players have gotten bigger and stronger but they are also a LOT softer mentally and will sit out of a practice or game for the slightest injuries. I blame it on greed. Greed of the owners and greed of the players. Why was it that players were a helluva lot tougher before all of these safety rules and before they made millions of dollars annually? It will likely never happen, but these team owners should be trying to sell the stadiums out for every game. They CAN do that if they charged a fair amount for a seat and parking yet they refuse to. Sure, players wouldn't get 40 million dollars a year but I'm willing to bet that they would likely play for $500,000 as 99.9% would never make that in a regular secular job. Greed... always a killer of everything good.
Brandon jacobs deserves an honorable mention. He was a scary dude secondaries did not want to have to tackle him. He injured players trucking them. Dudes have talked about how scary he was to play against.

I watched Chuck go end zone to end zone with an interception at U of A vs the ScumDevils. But yeah, he tried to knock dudes into the afterlife.
I just started watching KC when Joe Montana went there from Frisco just to see how he did, and Cecil was the first guy the reminded me of growing up watching Jack Lambert. If you Google his career, they say he was kind of forced out of the NFL for hitting to hard.
The Steelers need more players like Jack Lambert and James Harrison. They used to be unstoppable
The crazy part is that Joe Greene was "scarier" than both:
"Chicago linebacker Dick Butkus, blocking for punt returner Gayle Sayers, blindsided the oncoming Greenwood, knocking him unconscious near the Steelers' bench. Butkus stood over the fallen rookie like Ali stood over Liston. Onto the field stepped Greene. Eye-to-eye with Butkis, Greene threatened him and spat in his face. "Butkus was standing there with this [spit] thing hanging down his face mask," Mansfield said. Mansfield thought, This is going to be the greatest fight in the history of the NFL! But Butkus turned and walked away. Decades later, Mansfield said, "That was the beginning of the end of the Pittsburgh Steelers' problems."

What do you guys think about T.J.Watt? Not the "scariest", but definitely a great, great Linebacker.
Lambert looks like an old prospector! "There be gold in them there hills!" 😂
"Dracula in cleats" 😂Loved Jack Lambert as a kid.
Old School NFL 😃 😊
Deacon Jones will haunt your dreams for overlooking him here.
But deacon jones wasn’t a hard hitter
@@Supbros1902 Nonsense. You obviously never saw him play. I saw (and heard) his hard hitting many times back in the day.
@@leestamm3187 I have

Great vid. Could have *maybe* fit Singletary or Lott in there. Still, thanks for the great video!
Samurai Mike.
Always love when O-Line gets some love. Should show how scary Trent Williams can be
Well, Ray Lewis is only scary if you expect him to get convicted of killing you.
Ray Lewis was a thug
If not for sports alot of these thugs would be in prison or the cemetery
He stabbed someone right?
@@grady1807 Oh, please. This is Baltimore, we stab each other as a way of saying hello. Also, 73% of the air here is composed of bullets.
Guys like Tatum made me a Raiders fan for life.
I'm glad to see you put my favorite Steeler of all time on this list, Count Dracula in cleats. MR.JACK LAMBERT.
I would have put O.J Simpson on this list, He is pretty scary...
Butkus played with so much intensity that I think even if you just brought him to today's NFL with a time machine, he'd still be a force. But imagine if he had lifted weights... done plyometrics...
I really like the way you presented this video instead of the dead monotone voice most doc type pages use
Joe Greene, Greg Lloyd, Mel Blount and Jerome Bettis should have been on the list, but I guess when you have so many Steelers to choose from, you have to make cuts, lol
Joe Greene was not a linebacker, he was a defensive tackle.
Sean Taylor. RIP. Hit like a freight train. Half or more of these great players on this list, could not take a hit from him.
My top 10 scariest players in the NFL whether they are offensive players or defensive players…Many of these competitors were amongst the best at their position, as well as being intimidating, which only added to their lure. The art of intimidation can be a useful tactic in the NFL, as players with a reputation of being feared can easily get in the heads of their opponents and throw them off their game. Here comes my top 10 scariest players and they are… Lawrence Taylor Ray Lewis Dick Butkus Earl Campbell Mean Joe Greene Mike Singletary Reggie White James Harrison Deacon Jones Steve Atwater Troy Polamalu
So cool to have Earl Campbell on this list. Earl Campbell is my favorite RB of all time! Grew up playing Smear the Queer in the neighbor's front yard where we would name a pro RB we were going to play like. I was always Earl.
Jim Brown definitely brought the aggression. Especially to the women in his life.
oooooohhhhhh edgy!!!!!
Wassup with people with the name brown beating the women in their life?
Let me explain to Tatum how he became the “villain” in the Stingley hit. It’s called getting paid a bounty from Al Davis for putting players out of the game. Not for great plays but for actually injuring players. I can’t believe that you left Ronnie Lott off the list. He was, if not the one of the hardest hitting players period, the most savage defensive back to ever play the game. He also had a passion for playing that’s unparalleled. How many players have, at their own request, had a finger amputated so they could continue to play? Answer? ONE and his name is Ronnie Lott. Now THAT is dedication to playing folks.
Where’s your proof of this so called bounty? You’re full of it.
Sir Wayne Thomas "Buck" Shelford. Had his sack torn open during a game with a testicle hanging out, got it sewed back up in the lockers and went straight back out to play. I know it's NRL, but it still stands out to me
Couldn't agree more. They didn't come any tougher than Ronnie Lott. Honorable mention for Steve Atwater.
You would probably have to add bo jackson on the list then because bo ran through Ronnie Lott like nothing!
Dick Butkus, Ray Nitchke, Conrad Dolbler, Lawrence Taylor, Larry Wilson, Tommy Nobis, Chuck Cecil, Ronnie Lott, Larry Little, the list goes on.........
I was fortunate to watch football during 70,80,90 that's when it was a man's game .
How did Ronnie Lott get left off this list? SMH
Love this video man. We need more of these. KZhead is flooded with good content like this for basketball but not for football. Our history is just as if not more storied and decorated and deserve good analysis and videos 🫡
And Lyle Alzado was left out why? He's the only player to have a rule named after him in the Alzado rule that banned players from ripping off an opponents helmet and smacking him with it
Randy White did that too. A game against the Bears.
During training season the Raiders shared dinner tables Lyle Alzado sat alone at his own table
Like 8 ft tall in pads..Goliath Jr. Lol
@@xpchbum2937yup, then took his money, bought a restaurant, had a pretty good life. Then...died, far too young!, of brain cancer from steroid abuse. Never forget that last PSA he did.. 😪 but hey, thanx to technology, the memories live on!👍
@@jeph33I remember the psa he did. It's sad that happened to him
Crazy these type of guys don’t even exist anymore in the league. That’s what made football even greater
Good list. Don't know how Deacon Jones wasn't on it ahead of Earl Campbell. Nothing against Campbell.
The top 3 IMO Jack Tatum, Lawrence Taylor and Kam Chancellor. All three would terrify receivers and QBs.
Sorry, but a "scariest player" list without Ry Nitschke on it is either bogus or inombplete! Too many recent players, too few earlier-generation players.
Ray Lewis was even scarier off the field and on the streets. He was indicted for murder and then copped a plea to get off.
I was at the game that James Harrison knocked out those 2 Browns. The second one he hit the guy so hard you could actually FEEL the impact way up in the cheap seats like a sonic boom.
James Harrison is my all-time favorite NFL player. I'm a Steelers fan, so I may be a bit biased. Kinda impressive for him to be in the top 10, given he was a "late bloomer" to his starting role.
As a Ravens fan...screw James Harrison. Such a dirty player. Oh and we will see you in a few weeks ;)
You said that Tatum never apologized for the hit. He wished DARRYL a full and speedy recover, with best wishes. He said he's not a villain. But what do you want him to say...that I'm sorry for hitting my opponent, in a contact sport? Should a boxer say " I'm not trying to hurt anyone? We take it for granted that they don't want to permanently damage anyone. That would be insane. Jack never hit anyone like that again...in fact...he admitted that he held back on hits after that and it negatively affected his career. What do you people want?
As steelers fan loved mention Jack Lambert, also i was thinking of Larry Csonko on this list to.
Ray Lewis was a killer on and off the field
Acquitted of murder. (Just for the record)
😂
I know for a fact Lyle Alzado was scarier than many of these guys.
I know for a fact he wasn't.
3 Mile Lyle
Chuck Bednarik and Chuck Cecil should have been included on this list.
Great Vid! Nice work! All my favorite things! I miss this kind of football so much!
Good times , when football still was football not this bs we get today
Concrete Charlie Bednarik was badass. Played O & D & even some special teams. And flattened Frank Gifford, per the famous b&w photo.... 🚬😎👍
Larry Csonka was the only running back to get a un-necessary roughness call when he played
I'd be more scared of Lewis because of his criminal element.
When football was football 💯💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Conrad Dobler was one mean offensive lineman. Randy White, Manimal, one scary defensive lineman.
I miss hard hitting football. But I am glad they have made changes where you can still hit someone hard.. but do not lower your head when administering that hit. It’s saves you and the person you are tackling
They need to make a rule that if an offensive player lowers his head to initiate contact. Then it would be an offensive penalty instead of a defensive one.
@@missingnewyork5698 You have a point. I've always hated it when defenders get penalized when the offensive player players their head into contact.
Earl Campbell: The Tyler Rose. His thighs were like tree trunks. He can’t walk really anymore now because the Oilers ran him to death. But the man makes some good BBQ and BBQ sauce
Is there a recipie on line
Earl is my favorite all time RB
