cfujskins Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 what!? no Jason Witten? he played with a broken Jaw (obviously operated on), half a season. that's one tough SOB. Same thing happened to Peyton Manning except he only missed ONE play. Came back in with a bloody and swollen jaw and by next game he was wired shut for much of the remainder of the season. A lot of people (especially the ones who say Manning isn't tough) don't know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphil006 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I don't think ti is lorenzo neal. I saw Sean Taylor light him up when he tried to block Taylor, then Taylor swung his leg around and knocked the ball out of Ladanian's hand...

hiswadeness Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I'm throwing McNabb in this one, this guy plays until he cant move. Mental toughness lacks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jivelikenice Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Its got to be Hines Ward. Definitely the most physical wide receiver in the league today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36SKINS56 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 McNair...would play in a wheelchair Toughest athlete? Gotta be Iverson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Favre. He's the Cal Ripken Jr. of the NFL. I'm not a fan of the "Brett Favre is god" crowd that so many people are a part of, but the man has taken some brutal hits and played with painful injuries. As far as longevity goes, the award has to go to Favre. Even though I've said it a million times, Pat Ramsey during the Spurrier era was a tough son of a *****. There. I've said it a million and one times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSKNfaithfull Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I'm throwing McNabb in this one, this guy plays until he cant move. Mental toughness lacks though. Didn't he play 3 quarters with a broken foot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnFoRcEr_uPu Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hines ward. Never seen a guy take so many blasts and keep going. I've almost never seen him drop the ball either(see the Denver game when he not only stopped Bailey from intercepting the pass, but tipped it up, caught it and took a HUGE shot by Lynch, only to hold on to the ball, get up and signal first-down.) THAT is tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnFoRcEr_uPu Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Its got to be Hines Ward. Definitely the most physical wide receiver in the league today. btw, didn't even realize you said that before I did, lol. Anyways, that's 2 votes for Ward!

A lot of people (especially the ones who say Manning isn't tough) don't know this. Let's not forget that we didn't even find out until almost the end of the season that ST had been playing with a seperated shoulder the entire season and STILL layed the wood on guys every week.

melonhead1959 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Donovan McNabb. I know he plays for the Philthy Eagles and is a choker, but didn't he once play a playoff game with a leg fracture? I rest my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinklein Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hines Ward is solid. Byron Leftwich playing that NCAA game with a broken leg...that's hard to argue against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkatz Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 stop being homers. Larry Allen is 1 tough mofo. he deserves it. some times i hate when we as homers make dumb comments like that. What do you mean stop being homers? The injury Joe Salevae'a is an incredibly painful injury. Extrcutiating even. I believe it is even more painful then broken thumbs. Thats not a homer vote at all.

jb4348 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 What about Jon Ritche? He used to be fullback for the raiders and most recently the eagles. Madden would always talk about how tough he was. His forehead would be gushing blood every game he played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frunobulax Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Lorenzo Neal, Hands downThis guy is one of the nastiest fullbacks in the NFL and is a huge part why Ladanian Tomlinson is such a good back. If you saw him yesterday at the Pro Bowl- Skills Challenge you wouldn't beleive has big this guy is. Anyway, Let's here who you guys think is the #1 toughest player in the NFL. If we could sign Chuck Norris to an NFL contract, that would render all these questions moot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotomacSkinsFan Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 brett favre. He plays every week. He had a pain killer addiction, so we know he was playing in pain. AND, he gets in the faces of guys like warren sapp and talks smack. FAVRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedskinsFan28 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Bill Gramatica :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I remember watching that when it happened. Boy, the Gramatica Bros were a hot sensation when they came to the league, but now they are simply has-beens. My vote for toughest player: Steve McNair. The man gets beaten and bruised each game but still tries to tough it out. Ramsey gets another vote just for enduring the Spurrier Era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guru Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Too many too name. The NFL is filled with so many amazingly tough players, I don't think any single player can be called the toughest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins11 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 stop being homers. Larry Allen is 1 tough mofo. he deserves it. some times i hate when we as homers make dumb comments like that. The question wasn't who is the strongest. It is who is the TOUGHEST. There is a difference. If you can lift a ton but you play soft, then you are not the toughest.
