Top 10 Hardest NFL Hits

In response to the fact that the Bucs defense didn't hit any of the Panthers that hard last night, I came across this video collection on digg.com, here's a link to the story on digg (the original is on askmen.com).

And here are the videos/pics for each one:

10. Sean Taylor on Brian Moorman - 2006


9. Hines Ward on Keith Rivers - 2008


8. John Lynch on Chris Henry - 2006


7. Roger Craig on Tim Krumrie - 1989: Current Kansas City Chiefs defensive line coach Tim Krumrie overcame a tremendous leg injury during Super Bowl XXIII that could have ended his career. In a nose tackle with the Bengals, Krumrie was kneed by Roger Craig, causing a shattering of both his tibia and fibula. Though video footage of the hit is rare, it’s regarded as one of the hardest – and most graphic – hits in football history. At risk of going into shock, Krumrie initially refused to leave the locker room after he was carted off the field. He had surgery to implant a 15-inch steel rod into his leg.






6. Bart Scott on Ben Roethlisberger - 2006


5. Tanard Jackson on Dallas Clark - 2007


4. Lawrence Taylor on Joe Theismann - 1985


3. Sheldon Brown on Reggie Bush - 2007


2. Darrell Reid on Chris Henry - 2007


1. Jack Tatum on Darryl Stingley - 1978: Darryl Stingley’s tragic story is necessary to mention in discussions about both the worst NFL hits in history and the most serious injuries. A running back with the Patriots, Stingley was paralyzed on a shot from Jack Tatum’s forearm during a preseason game. The hit broke two vertebrae in Stingley’s neck, making him a quadriplegic. Though no penalty was ever called on the play, it’s considered controversial because of the way Tatum hit Stingley to the head. Stingley died in 2007 at the age of 55, due to complications of quadriplegia.
