I think Isaman wins this one hands down. Not only playing with broken bones, but the toughness of a boxer. I'm not real "up" on Derek's boxing career, but I know he went the distance in Golden Gloves with Mike Tyson when most couldn't make it that far. He later became a Golden Gloves Champion and actually left our football program for a year to try out for the Olympics, then came back and was an absolute stud. On a more "Trivia" related subject, Derek was offered the role of "Rocky's" Understudy/Nemesis in the movie "Rocky V." but couldn't work it in around football.
Another thats known more for greatness than for toughness is Archie Griffin. I can't recall him ever missing a down because of injury, and played the entire game against UCLA in the 1976 Rose Bowl with a broken left hand, yet still managed 93 yards on 17 carries.
