A perennial debate among sports fans is whether legendary players from previous eras could successfully transition to the modern game. While this may be true for many sports, the NFL presents a unique challenge; today’s athletes are significantly larger, faster, and more physically refined than their predecessors. Into the 1970s, NFL players often worked off-season jobs to supplement their income, whereas today’s professionals treat the sport as a year-round commitment, supported by massive salary
increases that prioritize constant physical conditioning. Given the evolution of the NFL, can you remember players that you believe would specifically translate to today’s game?
So this evening’s Phinsider Question Of The Day is:
If you could choose only one, which past former Miami Dolphins player, in their prime, who you believe would translate to today’s game, would you place on the team’s current roster and why?
