For perspective, when watching these videos you need to keep in mind that the AVERAGE NFL player is 6'2, 250lb, with an average 40 yard dash of around 4.5 seconds. The amount of force involved in these plays is equivalent to a medium-sized car accident.

As someone who has both been in a bad car accident AND taken a hit from a player (he didn't mean it, he just went MASSIVELY out of bounds while I was walking behind the line.) I think I would rather the car if I had to pick again. I'm a tall gal, but full hit from a running refrigerator took me out and down hard. Although I think at the time he was more upset than I was, came round to him sobbing and asking if I was dead. When I woke up the next day (I had gotten home and gone to bed, he didn't knock me out for a full day) and I was a completely different color pretty much over my most of my body, front and back. Took me almost a week to be able to really walk without wanting to die. Granted, the car didn't send me flowers, bring me meals and apologize for about a month. Still? Car better. No clue how those boys manage it, even IN pads and helmets. I couldn't BREATHE normal for a month from the crunch my ribs took. Cracked ribs SUCK. These boys aren't human.

Not "played and got injured", but "played WHILE injured " Pretty much every NFL player of 10 years or more - has had serious mobility issues, or brain injury or simular issues. More than one has been described by doctors as having the injuries associated with multiple car accidents without seatbelts.

Most of these plays today are illegal because of severe concussions. You can’t hit that hard anymore in NFL or college football. But during those days of those hard hits the team would look for the player that hit you teammate and they would pay you back either in the game or the next time you played that same team. So you were a marked man until they got their revenge on the field. Great reaction.

Technically, you can absolutely still hit this hard. But many of these plays are now illegal for other rules changes (spearing, targeting, defenseless player, etc). Any hit which took a helmet off is probably illegal now. Any blind-side hit by a blocker above the arm-pits is probably illegal now. Some of the hits in the video were illegal then, and got flagged. But many of those hits were and still are legal, including all of the body slams.

We had a guy like that on our middle-school football team. 6'4" 300 lbs., he was our center. Our nose tackle was 6'3" 240 lbs., our fullback was 6' 200 lbs., and one of our WRs was 6'1" 180 lbs. We dominated our regular season, but had to face a bigger city team in the post-season who were pretty much all big guys. I was like 5'6 and 140 lbs., and so were most of my teamates. We got trounced, lol.

Coaches at every level will tell you, "Get up. Shake it off and get back in there." That's how we're raised.

Football is a way of life for a lot of Americans. We have Jr. High School football on Thursdays, High School football on Fridays (Friday Night Lights), we have college football on Saturdays and on Sundays the pros play! Only about 7 more weeks and we'll get this party started!

That's called a "double pickle flip". Nobody pulls it off very often. High difficulty. The way he took his leg was perfect.

You say that it is odd that the guy in the video was allowed to tackle the guy that was going after the ball carrier. I say it's odd that you would play in a way where all you can do is watch and say "Oh well, I guess our guy is gonna get tackled, nothing I can do to stop it"

I played football for 13 years including two semesters in college. The highlight hit videos are cool and all, but they really don’t give you a real sense of just how violent these collisions are. To really understand you have to watch it in person and be at ground level, these videos are all filmed from a stadium and the angle of it takes away from how hard the hits are. Also you’re not hearing the hits, in person it’s a loud cracking noise, like smacking together two pieces of treated lumber.

I’ve heard many people say that they could play football. Watching it live on television makes it look much slower than it really is probably because the cameras are so far away. Go to a high school game and watch it much closer up and you get a better idea of the speed. Remember, high school is mostly 15-17 year olds. The NFL are adults much faster than teenagers. I don’t think a average person would have a chance against a 16 year old so a pro would just be embarrassing.

Most people also don't realize that every level you go up is a nearly exponential leap. College player are unbelievably better than high school players, and pros are unbelievably better than college. Watch for the worst players in the game in a pro game of any sport. Now remember, that guy was probably an all-American in college in order to get drafted and make it past cuts in the pros.

I think a couple of those guys left their heads on the field 😂

People who are unfamiliar with the game cringe. Those who have played, understand exactly how satisfying it is to lay the lumber to an opposing player. Imagine a well struck golf shot, or a perfect, clean scissor volley on the football pitch. Now imagine the intensity ratcheting up because it's man on man, rather than man on inanimate object. It is beautiful in a primal, vulgar, predator/prey sort of sense.

Football is violent and I played it from a kid, we kind of like that!😂

I only played 4 years in High School but there are 2 things you never forget, laying a hit like this or getting hit like this. That's football!

The power bomb is actually a perfect form tackle by industry standard

Now check out Larry Allen. He was a Offensive Lineman for Dallas. He was 6’3” and 330 lbs (~150kg). The man was an absolute beast.

Finally, someone catches the 3 Steelers tossin the dude. That's one of my favourites from this comp.

American football players are built different. Watch some hardest high school football hits. Some of those young men are savage, too.

We start em young here to take hits so that the fear of being hit won't stop them from playing.

This video is what my friends and i call….. “the good ole days of football”. 😂

We start them young too! You should watch biggest football hits in youth football!

A lot of these hits are illegal now, but defenses pride themselves on hits like this. It’s always fun watching Brits, and rugby players especially, watch this video. They quickly understand why football requires so much protective gear. Now imagine back in the day when they were wearing leather helmets…

Many of these were legal, at the time. No horsecollar tackles whereyou tackle (grab by the back of the pads around the neck) No leading with the helmet No hitting a defensless player (ie wr in the air, kicke/punter on their follow through motion) No grabbing the face mask No body slams No blindside blocks Those were done away with because of the injuries they caused The current tackle under review is the "hip drop" Or where the defender tackles from the back wraps his arms around the offensive player and becomes dead weight while dropping to the ground. Causing the defensive player's body to land on the offensive player's legs. Forcing the runners knee to bend inward, and their foot is relatively pointing outwards. Causing a lot of leg injuries. However, you can put your shoulder down and drive through someone with every bit of force you can muster and you can just blast someone with a shoulder pad. For perspective: Just keep in mind the AVERAGE NFL player height and weight is 6'2 245 lbs (188 cm and 112 kg) and the AVERAGE 40 yard dash time is 4.48 seconds, so the newtons of force applied by a single average player is 1740.48N experiencing nearly the same G force astronauts experience during a space shuttle flight per large 2 player collisions

He's a threat to the person who has the ball. You're allowed to address that threat as long as it's a clear threat. Wonderful game. These aren't all legal either man. Just have the factor.

Grabbing a facemask is highly illegal. It would lead to a loss of down including to the one used, 15 yds, plus fine for the player over $10k, and suspension from the game plus any other games after a review board. This is because the player could suffer major injuries that could lead to permanent disability.

If that’s Derrick Henry getting tackled 3 on 1 it’s just about the right amount!! lol

Ain’t nobody wanting the ball after this

The part about American football a lot of first time viewers don’t get is that all of these guys are monsters. They’re huge. Check out pics of nfl guys standing next to average people.

That big huge guy running down the field with only a grammar school he just 12 years old. the 😂😂

A couple fun facts for ya. 1: The clip where the guy gets dragged backwards by the face... Yea, they made that illegal to do. It's too dangerous. 2: The house running down the field (at least that's how big he is). His job is simple. Take ball, run 10 yards in the right direction. That is all. 3: You think sticking your arm out in front of you is a good thing. It's actually called a 'stiffarm', and it's illegal. In fact, you'd probably be surprised how many things they CAN'T do. Also, now that you've seen some solid hits, I get to tell you that the helmet technology is constantly getting better, leading to fewer and fewer long term brain injuries.

Not only are these guys huge and fast, but they can be quite nimble too. You should react to "Best Jukes In Football History" by Highlight Factory. Fair warning though, some of them are straight up disrespectful.

The second hit is interesting because he did get a flag for hitting a defenseless player but the call is incorrect. His hit was center mass and in the front. Most importantly the defender was next to the ball carrier therefore it's a clean block just brutal.

In A Football, you can tackle someone to defend the qb or runner depending who has the ball to prevent them from being tackled, but not others.

So if it happened between those dates it was illegal, but if the clip is from before 1962 (and we know it was before 1965) then it was legal.

You misunderstand what's happening when someone without the ball is hit. Those are legal blocks. Those people being hit are defenders looking to tackle the ball carrier. The ball carriers teammates are protecting him by blocking potential threats to him gaining as many yards as possible. As long as the defender is being "hit" from the front, as in the chest, it's legal. You cannot however block in the back or what's called a blindside block which means hitting the defender in the opposite shoulder of which way his head is turned. Some of the hits in this are indeed illegal but they make for good highlights.

Just so you know, most people are completely fine

Im late on this video but NBA heated moments

It's called blocking. You block your trammate from being tackled.

The people on the field re all playing, so they ll have something to do with the ball. They either are protecting the ball or attacking the ball carrier.

The hits you saw where a guy was layed out by someone from the team who had the ball that threw you off a bit near the beginning is a style of offensive blocking that's know as a crack back block and I believe I was part of maybe not the last but 2nd to last generation of football players where that was ok because over the last I'de say 3-5 years the crack back block started to become an illegal hit.

Try watching Ray Lewis’s career highlights. That was a one man wrecking machine.

Check some Ray Lewis highlights. I so miss watching him play.

So you know the clip where you said there's 5 people in the pile and the bodyslam someone yea thats 100% NOT legal anymore at least. It was back then about 10-15 yrs ago.

Watch the 6'5" 245lb Strong Saftey #31 for the Seattle Seahawks "Bam Bam" Kam Chancellor he would literally make you pay for entering his playground.

If he doesn’t have control of the ball in the end zone there is no points and hits like this are awsome but most of this is before nfl started realy pushing targeting which is head to head contact also the hitting a defenseless player and those mutliple people tackles are usually whistled dead before the player is taken down but can also result in a defensive penalty of unnecessary roughness
