Throughout his Hall of Fame career, former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Mel Blount was as tough as they come at his position, a guy who could physically and mentally dominant an opponent snap after snap.
It helped that the rules back then allowed the cornerbacks to truly be physical with receivers before the implementation of the “Mel Blount Rule” to give receivers a bit more time and space to operate.
Even that that didn’t stop Blount from being one of the best ever at the position, as receivers across the NFL learned time and time against with that No.
