Arguably the toughest American athlete of all time. How else do you play Center in 200+ NFL games without missing one?

RIP 00 "Mr.Raider"

One tough Dude! I saw a video showing that his body and knees were so beat up from the NFL grind that he was in a great deal of pain. He could not walk without pain and difficulty.

In the times obit it detailed a million injuries he played through. Truly unbelievable.
