Mike Alstott: The Human Truck who dominated the NFL

Mike Alstott was basically a HUMAN TRUCK playing running back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.    Nicknamed ‘The A-Train,’ Alstott was an absolute nightmare for defenders throughout his NFL career. At 6’1’ and nearly 250 pounds, he ran through tackles like they were nothing and made some of the hardest hits in football look effortless. What made Alstott so special was his combination of power, balance, and surprising athleticism. Defenders could hit him head-on and still end up getting dragged several yards downfield. He wasn’t interested in running around people when he could just run straight THROUGH them.   The six-time Pro Bowler finished his career with over 5,000 rushing yards, 71 rushing touchdowns, and a Super Bowl ring with Tampa Bay. He became one of the most beloved players in Buccaneers history and gave fans some of the most ridiculous highlight runs you’ll ever see. THEY DON’T MAKE FULLBACKS LIKE THIS ANYMORE!
