re: Has there ever been a harder hit in football than the Clowney hit?

I don't know how this thread got this far without the Steve Atwater hit on Christian Okeye. Okeye was the beast of the NFL until this hit. It looks kinda benign as compared to helmet flying stuff but this was epic in my world when it happened. It was as big as Sugar Ray getting backed in the corner and kicking Hagler's arse back out to center ring.

Atwater vs Okeye

3 minute video with hit at end but watch the whole thing to appreciate them both.
