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.

as far as players that i've seen in person (meaning only in the last 5 or 6 years) go, it's pretty hard to top krenzel. i still am amazed that the QB of Ohio State was allowed to put himself through that kind of abuse on such consistent basis.

also a vote for kudla, not just because of his play on the field, but to come back from what he was dealing with is incredibly impressive. how many times did they say they read him his last rites? three? four?

Joe Germaine? No idea what you're talking about.

I thought it was Shane Falco that started the bowl game versus FSU ...

In my lifetime (born in late 70s), I'm going to have to go with Nicky Sualua. Fullbacks are tough by nature but he took the cake. He backed down from no one, no matter the size or the strength of the opponent he was coming to chop them down. I've never been so excited watching someone block as I was watching him. Too bad his on-field toughness and accountability didn't transfer off-field.

Got to go with Bill Willis. Not only a tough old school 2 way player but had to deal with a host of other issues not related to football.
