Sean Taylor
Teammates nicknamed Sean Taylor,”Meast,” which means half man and half beast. Clearly, Taylor had to be included in this list. Furthermore, who could forget the three-sixty rotation of wide receiver P.K. Sam after free safety Taylor slammed him? He even sent Terrell Owens to the trainer’s bench. Tragically, Taylor was murdered by home intruders in 2007. His legacy will surely live on.

Consistently, he injured players almost every tackle. Naturally, he ranked in second on NFL Network’s “Most Feared Tacklers” of all time.
