Honoring Ironhead

Former NFL fullback Craig "Ironhead" Heyward, an 11 year vet with five different teams, died Saturday from a brain tumor at the age of 39. How can you not give credit to the Heaviest RB in NFL History at 328 lbs. (And no the Fridge does not count as a RB)





This is a Story as recalled by Bobby Hebert with a Nice Seattle Angle

Hebert also recalled the time, during a game in 1988, when Heyward hit Seattle linebacker and alleged tough guy Brian Bosworth so hard he made him cry. According to Hebert, then-Saints coach Jim Mora called the same off-tackle play six straight times, with Heyward as the lead blocker. "After about the third time," Hebert said, "Bosworth was crying. Honest. Tears were rolling down his face, because he didn't want Ironhead to hit him anymore. He cried 'Uncle!' for real. Ironhead, he just laughed at him."

Some of you may remeber his famous Zest "Thingy" Commercial

(I tried to find the original commercial on YouTube but failed) Oh well.
