Kick off return team. I wasnt either of the back two guys who get to return but the row of blockers right in front of them. Ball kicked off, i watch the ball sail over my head while moving up to meet a defender to block face to face. He ends up bascially picking me up and throwing me backwards, all the while im turning over mid air to land on my belly but end up just face planting into the ground face first. Facemask full of dirt and grass and ego broken. Learned a lesson that i need to pick my targets more wisely.

Freshman year playing CB. Running back came around the edge and trucked my arse. Had those hip pads that stick out of the pants. When they hit the ground my pants came down a little bit. Only had a jock strap on under that. When I got up the entire stands saw my bare arse

The hardest hit I took, was in a backyard game. I guess a guy got tired of blocking me and kicked me in the shin 2 or 3 times.
That sob swole up so bad I couldn’t walk on it.

1974, Outside LB for one of our rivals hit me helmet to helmet. My entire body instantly felt like it was sent into a deep freeze. I remember feeling like I shattered into a million pieces. 25 years ago he bought the house a few doors down from me (We live about 70 miles north of where we went to school) and I see him all the time. Our sons ended up playing high school ball together and are good friends.

We get together for beers every so often and talk about how good we thought we were before reality set in that we were extremely average.

As a WR my senior yr, I was trying to get open on a busted play. The QB threw it a little behind me causing me to reach back with two hands then out of nowhere Craig Steltz lights my arse up and I got up spitting out dirt but I held onto the ball for the fricking first down.

Freshman year of high school, first round of playoffs. Was playing LB and met a pulling guard head on. I literally saw stars. Very hard hitting game with several injuries. A guy from the other team fractured his neck later in the game and had to be removed from the field in an ambulance.

High school, freshman year. Running a seam route from the H back position in a Wing set. Quarterback hangs the ball high, I jump to get it, linebacker proceeds to crack to ribs on my left side.

Gave a hit on kickoff and earpads and chinstraps went flying. I got up excited and high fiving for making the tackle but I was hiding that it hurt badly.

Had a RB get his face mask opened up like a canyon when we played these boys from Amite 1994. They were huge!

Not me but I guy I know was a walk on at Auburn and they put him at punt return one day during practice. He said he fielded the ball and was running down field when like 3 guys hit him at the same time. He said he was laying under a pile of people and they were not getting up fast enough so he said there was someone’s leg right against his face so he just took a bite out of it. Turned out to be his own leg and he knew right then he was not cut out for SEC ball.

I have three. The first was my sophomore year my stomach was hurting bad from the pregame meal. I mean I thought I was going to shite my pants before kickoff. We kickoff and I’m running down the field with stomach cramps. Their biggest baddest dude lit me up helmet to helmet and I let a gigantic fart loose but didn’t shite. I got up laughing because I felt tons better, and I ended up getting a pick with 2 minutes left to seal the win.
The second was my junior year. We were trying to make a goal line stand right before the half. I was playing safety and was coming to knock the frick out of the RB. He ducked under me to the ground and me and one of our Dlinemen hit head on. We hit so hard a chip came out of my helmet and my nose begin to bleed backwards, as I tasted and spit up blood.
The third was my senior year. Playing QB I went back to pass and our OT olayed their Dlinemen who was a Georgia recruit. He was about 290 and I was 170. As he sacked me he picked me up and slammed me to the ground. My head hit first and bounced like a basketball. I don’t remember the next three plays. I called the play in the huddle, but all I did was take the snap, turn left, and stand there until someone tackled me. I was told this and saw it on film. The next thing I remember is we were punting. I was the personal protector and I came to when me and another guy went head to head. I’d say I had a concussion.

Took a knee to my head trying to make a tackle. Rocked my world.
We had a Guard get rocked so hard once he went to opposing team's huddle with no clue where he was.

I was playing Defensive End as a freshman. My coach must have read tRant because I was around Trindon Holiday’s size at the time.

Anyway, their QB, who was also their all-district safety, threw a pick. When I went to go block him after the INT, he put his helmet under my chin and knocked me in to next week. Dude was a big hitter. That was the only year I played football.

Marvin Jones, Middle LB 1999 Hammond

Trev Faulk

Not necessarily the hardest I’ve been hit, but two of the strongest I’ve hit, or been hit by.

My sophomore year against Reuben Foster. Last game of regular season and it’s about 25 degrees. On the first play we run a strong sweep. I was lead blocking for our tail back and Reuben spawned right in front of me with all his momentum and skull fricked me. What made it worse was that in attempting to throw even a half arse block, my fingers on my left hand got caught on impact between my face mask and Reuben’s. It was so cold, I will never forget that pain.

Punt return where I had shite blocking. Should’ve called fair catch but got stitches in my chin instead. Kid fricked my world up. My grandparents were fond of the story of how they were listening to it on the radio and hear “Montanamax back to receive the punt. A high booming kick.....oooohhhh my god! I don’t know if he can get up from that.”

Got drilled in the back of the head (helmet on helmet) trying to catch a pass. I got up and went back to the huddle and played out the series. It was just before halftime. At the half, I started to run into the other teams locker room. A coach grabbed me and asked where I was going. I said, "I'm going to church". I didn't go back in.

Played with Jarvis Landry in high school. Took a mean blindside block during the spring game while I was chasing the QB up the sideline. Still have a scar.
