What player in the NFL, past or present, would you have wanted to see succeed so badly but due to injuries, off the field issues, or whatever happened just derailed their career? For me it was unfortunate to see players like Josh Gordon or Justin Blackmon have their careers end or never getting back on track because of off-field issues.

    I wouldn’t disrespect the man and say he was made of glass. NFL level collisions are at the level of severe car crashes, and safeties who play like Sanders may have a dozen or more in a single game.

    Very few humans are able to take that kind of punishment.

    Injury prone, yes….weak body made of glass…nah

      I feel like it’s an obviously unspoken “in the context of the NFL”. Like no offense, but no shit. A normal human would explode with one tackle. Comparable to NFL safeties, he was 100% injury prone and made of glass.
