Our own Willie Lanier was so feared that his league-wide nickname was "Contact".

The list goes on and on, but look at the SI Cover story I posted. I am not aware of any other major sports publication putting a player on its cover with that title.

Speaking of tough QBs, who was the last QB to play without a face mask?
No, it wasn't george Blanda (another tough SOB).
I'd say essentially Joe Theisman. He only had a single bar. They weren't allowed anymore after he retired.
