Dan Pitcher on Erick All: ‘An eagerness to be violent’

It’s not a secret that NFL football is violent. It may not be as violent as it was in the ‘80s and ‘90s, but there are nasty injuries, some of which are life-threatening, every season. For players to thrive in a sport like football, they have to be violent too.

Of course, there are exceptions. Most quarterbacks aren’t violent. Most wide receivers aren’t either.

What about tight ends?

I guess it depends on which tight end you’re talking about.

Mike Gesicki, I’m sure, would absolutely break me in half were I to try to get past him if we were to match up one-on-one.
