Toughest player to tackle?

Wherever it is...bad news for NFL

You just best hope him and Teddy Touchdown don't team up. Lions will be back to their cellar dwelling!!

I'm surprised players like lesean McCoy, gronk, and AP aren't in this discussion...

It's got to be between Lynch and AP. Blount is a relatively close 3rd only because no one else is as good as those first two after first contact.

And I assume we're talking about after first contact, not just hard to bring down in general.

My homer name drop is Brent Celek, Eagles TE, that dude is one tough SOB.

I'm gonna say it (and firmly believe it)....Russell Wilson. Let the shitshow ensue.

I hope you're just drunk.


It's Lynch.

They are.

Just have to select Other, like I did.

Can we go back in time? Earl Campbell, or maybe Christian Okoye. I am sure safeties of the day would argue.

Though he's only started for bit, this little guy is up there.

I met Glyn along with TD Tommy Vardell, Barry Sanders and a number of other guys at a football camp during my sophomore year of high school at Menlo College, Menlo Park.

Barry and Glyn ran a few drills together. Shifty mofos! Unbelievable how fast they could change direction.

+1 for the Captain Ron avatar.

Thank you Nightmare............. For mentioning Barry Sanders, so I didn't have to this time.

Sanders wasn't hard to tackle, you just couldn't catch him. And if you had him dead to rights, he would juke you out of your shoes.

Any poll with a Seattle player in it should be considered void on this site. Let's be real.

Lynch has been #1 for a few years with yds after contact. That kind of says it all.
