There are a lot of ways tough guys present. Some snarl and mean mug like Tyrique Jones. Some stare stone-faced daggers as they go to work like Tu Holloway. Some tell you about it while they do it to you like JP Macura.
When it comes down to brass tacks, though, all actual tough guys have one thing in common: they do not duck away from the task at hand. Plenty of pretend tough guys talk the talk when they’re under no pressure; actual tough guys want the responsibility when the stakes are the highest.
We already know Zach Freemantle (17/7/0) is an actual tough guy, and early on it looked like he would be the only story in today’s game.
