There have been a lot of tough players and hard hitters in the history of the NFL so there are some notorious players on this list. In my mind, Night Train Lane is the toughest and hardest hitter of them all…and it’s not even close. A notorious head hunter, Lane was famous for tackles that would makew the horse-collar look like flag football. Dubbed the "Night Train Necktie", he would attack the player’s head as if trying to squeeze out the last ounce of ketchup form a squeeze bottle. I have never seen a man so reckless with his own body for the sake of making a hard hit. I honestly think he could have been the first player ever suspended for a full season for nothing more than hitting too hard. Check out his clips and take note of why he is the most unlikely to be able to play in the soft, modern-day NFL.
