In 1966, he had 296 tackles. It was a 14-game season.

Live next to his son Tommy III. Nothing like him to say the least

22 tackles per game as a rookie. Insane

You can make that same type of case for Dale Murphy.

One of the best LB’s ever.
I don’t know the criteria to get in the HOF, but it seems he certainly should be in.

This fricking sucks. I always wanted Nobis to see the Falcons win a Super Bowl.
