When it comes to today’s NFL game, especially in the eyes of many former players, the game has gone soft, and isn’t played like it once was. The game is structured more towards offensive outputs — the more points the better — which has led to an explosive growth in popularity and star power in the last two decades or so.
One player who isn’t upset at the way the game is played today though might surprise you, especially knowing how he made a name for himself in the 70s as a physical defender, one that had the NFL create a rule because of him.
