Chris Paddack Jersey The toughest part of it all is not the physical punishment you take, but rather its the constant fatigue you must fight off," Atkins said during his 1982 Pro Football Hall Fameinduction speech. "You drain yourself on every play, pushing and pushing yourself. Your body is conditioned to absorb the knocks, but no matter what shape youre in, there are many factors that tend to tire Eric Lauer Jersey you out. If someone hits me a good lick, chances are good I wont even feel it until the next day. But you dont realize how much it takes out of man when he tries to hand- Luis Urias Jersey wrestle or throw a 250-pound lineman?"While at Tenne see,Atkinshelped the Volunteers win the 1951 national championship and then lead the nation in total defense a year later.MORE: Atkins was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1985 and was later joined by the late Reggie White as the only Tenne see players inducted in both halls of fame.
