9. Ronnie Lott

(S) 1981-1990 San Francisco 49ers, 1991-1992 Los Angeles Raiders, 1993-1994 N.Y. Jets
Lott was one of the best safeties to ever play the game. He was also frequently carefree and downright negligent when it came to tackling with concern for his own safety. He would completely sacrifice his own body if it meant putting a crushing hit on the ballcarrier. He threw his shoulder ad head with wanton abandon into the fray. Besides, a dude that cut off a dangling part of his pinkie finger so he could go back into the game is surely someone who would make Roger Goodell cringe when considering his so-called quest for player safety.
