my man was a living hit stick

[@ianhastie5785]

How this man is healthy above the shoulders is shocking, what a badass.

[@nerptheepic]

Im suprised he didn't go the way of mike Webster.

[@dislikebutton4981]

Some people are cut from a different cloth. A man like Lynch is a genetic warrior. The cream of the crop. Strong body and strong mind. Total man crush going on here lmao

[@michelfingado202]

Right? Always went head first.

[@juanagudelo3576]

I feel like John Lynch would’ve been flagged a lot if he played in today’s style of football. That dude is a killer.

[@sirwalksoftly]

Yeah, players get penalized for contact with helmet first now. Even though it's dangerous, I appreciate this type of football.

[@frankwhite1895]

All the great safeties of that era would be thrown out of every game.

[@tylerjensen1730]

Football is absurdly soft now when compared to that era. Was it unsafe? Yeah, it was. But holy crap it was awesome.

[@Aesir47]

Warren Sap actually talked about this. He said he, brooks and lynch were dinosaurs. They don't exist anymore, and you put dinosaurs in a museum... the hof

[@tylerjensen1730]

@@Aesir47 Lawrence Taylor said something similar one time to Ray Lewis. It’s a freaking shame. I miss the glory days of the NFL. I mean, football is still awesome, but it was a whole different level back then.

[@kingnieves4632]

He was such a Hard Hitter man I miss seeing 47 flying around the field and im only 27 but damn he was one hell of a safety and person off the field. He deserves to be in the HOF

[@Deuce5x]

Well he is

[@darrylwoodbury]

He's in the HOF and deservedly so. He was a beast during his playing days.

[@ThePecky1966]

The Chicago Bears tight end at 3:22 that Lynch puts to sleep, is actually his closest friend and brother-in-law. True story.

[@erosennin211]

Who else is here after Johnny finally got the knock for the HOF?

[@Warmaker01]

He's from the old 1980s and 1990s stock of hard hitting safeties. Atwater, Lott, etc. Lynch also entered the league in 1993 when the Buccaneers were consistently one of the worse off teams in the league. At 1996 Tony Dungy became head coach there and started to turn things around and made the team respectable contenders. It worked out eventually as Lynch was also a key member of the champion 2002 Bucs team that leaned heavily on a great defense. As a 49er fan, I appreciate him as a GM consistently giving the team a good roster to work with. Also great seeing him stick some good hits on great running backs in this video like Marshall Faulk, Emmitt Smith, and the amazing Barry Sanders.

[@mlee81]

'Effort is non-negotiable'... 'John Lynch. That was a beautiful time for football. Steelers fan here but always admired this Bucs team.

[@scottbaron121]

You kids (20-30 year olds) don't understand how good this Tampa defense (and Baltimore the year before) was. These were ALL TIME BEST defenses. Lynch was the enforcer on the TB defense.

[@Mk-xz3ys]

I’m 23, but that Bucs defense STACKED!!! John lynch, ronde barber, Derrick brooks, Warren sapp, the list goes on! I wish I was old enough to watch that defense live!!!

[@ihatezen]

Ok gramps

[@Mk-xz3ys]

@@ihatezen ok Elton John

[@deemorris337]

I’m 31 I know all bout this defense especially lynch sapp barber all of em !

[@MarMaxGaming]

Damn how was he SO solid and strong with those hits, those are studs he’s laying out!

[@allanhernandez5556]

Let's get this man in the Hall already

[@joshuabraeden4390]

This aged well 😃

[@jeffthebarber8259]

God he was a beast!!! I’ve only owned 1 football jersey in my life and it was a JL #47 jersey and I’m from Detroit!!! By far my favorite player of all time!!! Only other player I’d say even came close for me was Ronnie Lott.....

[@TheLos821]

When football was football. Tampa Bay legend. #47 👊🏽🏈🔥

[@um52]

Old school smash mouth football player..such a devastating hitter. One of the best safety’s during his era by far

[@carlesmauricio2909]

Congrats Lynch on your election to the NFL HOF class of 2021!!! Well deserved to this beast. 🏆🔥🏈

[@tberd906]

This is when men still played the game.

[@dislikebutton4981]

Yea now it's a bunch of basketball rejects and pretty boys. Man I miss the gritty football of the early 2000's. Perfect blend of modern skill and classic brutish gridiron.

[@dislikebutton4981]

I won't even mention the anti American/BLM crap... oops nvm

[@SupaWarioCat720]

One of my favs.

[@willseest3732]

This is perfect form tackling, this is what Im looking for when skmeone tackles. Dudes a linebacker mixed with a safety. This kind doesnt exist in todays games outside maybe Jamal Adams. Looks kinda like khalil mack tackling form

[@dcuozerogravity3892]

I agree. That's what a strong safety is though. A linebacker free safety hybrid

[@ezbsac4245]

You know your a beast when your highlights have a “part 2”

[@devyngourdin5204]

This is just Tampa too he was doing the same thing on the broncos

[@johnholman3200]

The great Warren Sapp#99 nicknamed him "friendly fire".🔥

[@santinodellacroce2079]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! before you there was only 2-3 min videos of him at max. personally i feel like he was the hardest hitter, his collisions are just more violent than everyone elses. great vid bro

[@leetusproductions]

thanks fam!

[@blainebarnett8449]

great video! love the addition of gladiator phrase in beginning. well done uploader!!

[@chrisanderson7516]

Guy was an absolute stud!

[@dcuozerogravity3892]

This was one of the greatest defensive 11 of all time. They were monsters and I'm not even a Tampa fan

[@bizz610]

First, and my favorite player in Bucs history. Nice.

[@christopherC1111]

Lot of leads with the helmet which makes impact more intense. I can see how that needed to change.

[@gravityracergt]

My favorite player of all time! Still got my #47 Tampa Bay Bobble head!

[@MarMaxGaming]

Bad man!

[@scottbaron121]

He and Anelas Williams were the last of the "Ronnie Lott" safeties. They aren't allowed to play like this any longer. Lynch was a MONSTER. Well deserved HoF'er.

[@justinc5226]

this is what we are missing from our D

[@claudesledge5545]

John Lynch was one of those defensive men who'd knock the receivers into another dimension. Imagine a team having him AND Ronny Lott as defenders...damnit,boy...I'd beg for "screen passes",as a receiver.

[@geraldedge1869]

wow the lynchmob poster !!

[@Tootswilligers]

John Lynch and Kam Chancellor are the 2 best hard hitting safeties ever

[@tsuvtom7668]

Right off the bat, I know 2 49ers safety that hit harder than Kam Chancellor already. Ronnie Lott and Dashon Goldson. And then there are a bunch of others that hit harder than Kam Chancellor from other teams. Steve Atwater for one.

[@Epoxy1184]

What a weapon

[@darrylwoodbury]

Getty hit my John Lynch was like getting hit by a train. he's definitely one of the hardest hitting safties of all time. He'd definitely be flagged all the time in this ear of football.

[@outsideleverage]

Hey! I appreciate your work on these highlights. I link to them or embed on my BUCS fan site/podcast. I'd love to chat with you and possibly have you if on sometime.

[@leetusproductions]

Thank you for the support! I'd love to man!

[@outsideleverage]

@@leetusproductions Yo!! Sorry for the late reply. I thought I had messaged you. Do you have anything you're working on? I'm thinking about turning my mic back on and recording another episode sooner than later. Maybe tomorrow or Saturday.

[@leetusproductions]

@@outsideleverage hell yea bro! I'm working on a throwback highlight vid for sapp right now, both those days work for me Saturday might be better so we have more time to get ready for it, but its up to you! It might be easier to talk/plan this out via email too, I'm at [e-mail]

@@leetusproductions Solid. We'll aim for Saturday.

[@blindspott1060]

For such a nice guy Lynch was a total badass.

[@corwincisneros2588]

He was a hard hitter and played the game the right way.

[@greenghost5009]

He was a Killer

[@Kaisaccountt]

That’s my gm lmao

[@NinkyStigger]

47 such an odd jersey number but John made it his own…that number forever his

[@theahearn2658]

Hitman 47. God, him and Ronde and Sapp and Brooks on that Bucs defense was a different animal.

[@Goldone99]

Everybody in a World of Pain.

[@nicksnyder6886]

and now he's gm of my niners

[@jeffrichards1537]

Lynch was a lumberjack. All about laying the wood.

[@W2ATL]

In today's NFL my man Lynch mob would be in jail for assault and attempted something on the field. Dude was a hitting machine. Not tackling......hitting, big difference. They dont hit anymore. And with good reason, but man this dude was hell and it was awesome to watch.

[@jovanizamarripa2052]

John must have cte with all them hard hits

[@soulscream78]

Not sure I've seen anyone more instinctive, well prepared or whom made the receiver think more while attempting to catch the football.

[@RegM86]

Made possible by the late great Bill Walsh. Moved Lynch from QB to safety while at Stanford.

[@melancholypuppy3595]

5:54 is why Ronde Barber should be in Hall of Fame next year

[@MegaMyown]

That very first play, even a routine tackle on Barry Sanders is a highlight lol if you did it by yourself…OH LAWD!!! Lol

[@johnholman3200]

And the last highlight(of part 1)they showed of Lynch knocking the Chicago player into unconsciousness was his brother in law. "Real Talk". Odds are high that only a diehard Bucs fan would know that. FACTS!

[@dominicsiano7637]

Could you do Derrick Brooks next??

[@leetusproductions]

Im working on sapp now, brooks is next!

[@morgantrombly6353]

Yo I thought he was more of a helmet tackler but a lot of this actually legal with the shoulder

[@jittstv]

He hit head 1 st every time

[@Can-of-Shrimp]

I chose number 47 because of him

[@kingnieves4632]

@Leetus Productions can you do a Lee Roy Selmon Highlight??

[@leetusproductions]

I don't know if id be able to find enough footage from back then

[@kingnieves4632]

That's fine I thought I'd ask lol

[@antoinepowell649]

This man IQ was different

[@platinumphazer]

Miss Tampa in the Crimson and Root Beer

[@chrismaile617]

He brought the woodshed hits

[@whythis28]

I'm surprised Lynch lasted as long as he did. He clearly tackles with his head. Fortunately he didn't break his neck. Watch the Notre Dame vs Stanford game from 1992. Lynch had to sit on the sideline with dizziness because he was tackling with his head.

[@hermanshula9449]

So there's this one replay from some game in the early 2000s when there was a group of Bucs surrounding a ballcarrier and John Lynch flies in from nowhere, and boom! He hits the group of maybe 5 or 6 players and they all fall. I was hoping that replay was included. It's not. I wish I could remember more details.

[@timbo_062]

If there is a football equivalent to a “field of dreams,” my starting safeties would be John Lynch and Ronnie Lott.

[@omarromero1051]

Reason I wore #47

[@melvinhenderson9006]

Hitting with your helmet can lead to PTSD FAST !!! He was a hard hitter yes … but he launched with his head a lot

[@neveahrami2174]

If John Lynch was in madden 21 he would have enforcer Stonewall and Deep zone ko and run stuff

[@Braavoo__]

Back when the nfl players were allowed to tackle each other.

[@jackrichiedei]

Great motivator. Prob would have been ejected in every game today. H O F for him, 300 yds. for Brady. close in age

[@marcuslau-young6413]

Sad part is half of these hits would be a penalty or ejection today smh

[@deemorris337]

He was fckin over Marshall Faulk lol 😂

[@donparker1]

@3:30 the moment John Lynch knocks out his own brother in law.

My guy stays leading with his head, no way he doesn't have CTE

Friendly Fire,

[@adamtyler8695]

I'm not sure Lynch could survive today's NFL.

[@MarMaxGaming]

Haha! That’s a good joke

[@seanmac5093]

[@AbsoluteFitnessKent]

they don't make em like that anymore

[@maikelinamudu]

In that last clip Lynch knocked out his own brother-in-law in Chicago…

[@alexrowell5003]

Well whenever you have to practice against a man named Mike Alstott you can put a hit stick on anyone!

[@gprich82]

The one where he knocks his brother in law into next week

[@antediluvian_seance]

He was a hard hitter, but let's be honest, most of those hits were on defenseless receivers.

[@dewittreeves5029]

Lynch could hit and wasn’t out there to bs

[@Ko-kf6lc]

Is it just me or does John Lynch look like Gronk in a way

[@jamaltaylor5]

Today's NFL would shit themselves if Lynch played

[@finbarhenneberry547]

man asked god to line his face up like brick

[@ryu-ken]

Every single one of those hits would be a penalty now days. Game is soft now
