See number 19 with the crewcut in the back row?

Let him play today with rules where wide receivers can't be touched and a flag drops if the quarterback is touched--instead of 60s rules where a defender could beat the shite out of a WR until the ball was in the air and quarterbacks were fair game to be hit-no "sliding"--

and that guy would set records that would dwarf Drew Brees and Tom Brady.


You would also have to put him against the speed of today's secondary and linebackers along with the speed and size of the Dline.

Pretty sure Johnny U would do just fine today. In any era for that matter.

And of course, he'd have the advantage of today's speedy WRs as well as the protection of superior OLs with 330 pounders who can run a sub-5 forty.

See how that works both ways?
