Jack Tatum: The Assassin of the NFL
Jack Tatum, often referred to as “The Assassin,” embodied the fierce competitive spirit of the NFL during his playing days. Renowned for his punishing hits and intimidating presence, Tatum played a pivotal role in transforming the Oakland Raiders into one of the most feared teams in football history. His prowess on the field was recognized by NFL Films, which ranked him as the sixth hardest hitter in the league's history. Despite his contributions, Tatum's legacy remains marred by a tragic incident that may prevent him from receiving the honor many believe he deserves: induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
