Ronnie Lott or LT. If I was doing the hitting, I'd rather it not be Earl Campbell.
I wouldn't want to be hit by Jack Tatum.
Bill Romanowski was crazy too, he broke Dave Meggett's finger on purpose just because he couldn't get the ball out of his hands. They were at the bottom of a pile and Bill Romanowski was trying to get the ball out of Dave Meggett's hands and he couldn't get it, so he just grabbed his finger and snapped it on purpose out of spite. He admitted it on the TV show 60 Minutes.
I also wouldn't want to be hit by Hardy Brown, he was a bone crusher.
And I don't want any part of Jack Lambert, he was a beast!
Yeah, both Steeler LBs named Jack were! Awesome tandem. Throw in Andy Russell and you have one of the greatest LB corps in NFL history.
Absolutely fearsome!
Ray Nitschke.....

I sure as heck wouldn't want to be at the bottom of the pile with the Fridge on top of me.

George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Richard "Night train" Lane.
Lane was known as a ferocious tackler, and his style of play led to changes in the rules of the game. In 1961, he tackled Jon Arnett by the face mask as he ran at full speed down the field. Arnett lay motionless on the field after the tackle, and the play left a lasting impression. The following year, the NFL adopted a rule prohibiting the grasping of an opponent's face mask.
Lane's practice of tackling opponents about the head and neck, which was then a legal technique, was sometimes called a "Night Train Necktie". It later became known as a clothesline tackle and prohibited.
This guy.
Yikes!
Richard Simmons
What the heck is going on there?
Nothing good 😳
Has anyone ever been on a field with artificial turf?
The MetroDome in Minneapolis felt like indoor/outdoor carpeting on cement.
I wouldn't want to be tackled by anyone playing on turf, to answer the OP..........................
Dick Butkus or Ben Davidson.
