72 Dolphins and 85 Bears had more or less modern day athletes. So, no. If nothing else, guys back then were fiercely fricking tough. Let’s see today’s guy against Lawrence Taylor, Jack Youngblood or Jack Lambert
Or a Deacon Jones head slap a time or twenty in a game.

Let’s see them tackle someone like Earl Campbell.
They would be carrying youngsters off the field in a coma.

Running back is the only position in football that isnt' significantly better in today's game than it was in the past.
That being said, 5'11 230 and slow (for today's game) look a lot different vs 240-260lb linemen than it would vs someone like a 6'4 342lb Dexter Lawrence.
Earl Campbell would not have holes to run through and he would not be pushing guys around like he did back then.
This is just math.
