Nicknamed, “The Assassin”, Tatum truly was one of the most feared hitters to play the game. To some he is known for his hit that paralyzed Darryl Stingley. While it is nothing to be trivial about, that type of hit is something that was a staple in Tatum’s career. He got after it on every play and typically he tried to separate the man from the ball by separating the man’s head from his body. His hit on Stingley (and many others like it) has to be something the NFL views as a black mark on the league still to this day.
