Don Meredith
According to Bob Lilly, “Meredith was really tough. He got beat up so bad in his early years. His last game, up in Cleveland, he came out of the hospital to play with a broken rib, a punctured lung, and pneumonia. I saw Meredith’s nose broken so bad that it spread all over his face. Looked like a raccoon.” Certified tough in our book.

Lynn Swann played as a wide receiver in an era when defensive contact rules were pretty loose to say the least. He suffered a severe concussion in an AFC title game only to go to to play in the Super Bowl anyway, going on to finish the game with 161 receiving yards and a Super Bowl MVP title.
