The acceleration is INSANE! That's a truck flying at you.

Arrington was a monster! He had some early injuries, but without them, he was gonna be one of those ones.

[williamhenry]

So many stand out players coming from Penn state. He was amazing on the field!

[CliftonLee]

This would be a yard penalty in today’s NFL.

[bobhubson]

Watched him play as a running back at North Hills high school back in the day.

Six years later Arrington’s career ended in the same stadium. He ruptured his Achilles and never played again.

Arrington was a monster. Was probably on a trajectory for the HOF, but injuries derailed his career early on.

[evanwilliams]

Aikman really started to feel the effects of concussions in the mid to late 90's. He always had to come out if the game or miss time due to concussions. When you get hit like this and get a concussion it is probably time to stop and Aikman knew it.

[logicalblackman]

After the hit, Troy said “you make my body ache, man.”

[necrophagiakc]

That was the national televised game shown here in NYC that day I remember it like yesterday

[keepinitreal]

Lavar didn't retire Troy the 8 or so concussions and the concrete turf in Texas stadium did lol. But hey Troy has 3 rings. Lavar?

[rollanother]

And it was clean. Even by todays standards

I saw Lavar at a UVA basketball game in the mid 2000's. He is a chill guy just watched from the tunnel, you wouldn't think he could lay the wood like that just looking him in street clothes.

Yeah, I remember this hit clearly and I do remember Troy Aikman never coming back after this. Lavar Arrington is one of my all time favorite players.

[walterbison]

He didn't really pan out in the NFL but I loved Lavar from his PSU days. #WEARE

[Sean-yf]

He wasn't trying to hurt him...he was trying to kill him.

[BigHomieCrush]

I think this was the play Troy bit a hole in his tongue if i remember correctly.

Today that's a trillion dollar fine, permanent expulsion from the NFL, and execution by firing squad... and let's not forget the 15 yard penalty.
