Most of the noise you hear these days from soft-spoken West Virginia University safety Karl Joseph comes from the crack of the pads when he violently runs into another player - not what comes out of his mouth.
Joseph is definitely Teddy Roosevelt’s kind of guy – “Speak softly and carry a big stick.”
Come to think of it, Joseph is a throwback to another era when the guys could fold up their helmets and put them in their pockets, if they chose to wear a helmet at all. He’s that tough. Do yourself a favor and search “Karl Joseph, Big Hit” on Google and what comes up are about a half-dozen videos of Karl ruining someone’s day.
