Greatest defensive back in the history of the Game Played Cornerback played Strong Safety and played Free Safety He was a relentless warrior and a selfless person on the football 🏈 field 1st round pick by the 49ers out of Southern California in 1981 1982 All Rookie Team 7x Pro Bowl 4x Super Bowl champion 9x All Pro 49ers 1981-91 LA Raiders 1991-93 Jets 1993-95 The hardest hitting defensive back of all time No one comes close It’s criminal he was No.4 on that list
Everybody stands up when they see "woooo".....my Dad first obtained our 49er season tickets in 1982, I was 8yrs old, so I was fortunate enough to grow up watching Lott, Montana, Rice, all of em, do their thing...it was incredible....
@@troynaval4526 No, he was a CB (49ers) for his first five years and then a FS (49ers) for 5 years and then a SS (Raiders) for 2 years and then back to FS (Jets) for his last 2 years.
@@4uFriday he actually only played 2 seasons as a strong safety. Corner was his natural position but slowed down a little and became free safety and mastered that position
Ronnie on record said his inspiration and favorite was Jack Tatum (Oakland Raider)... Clearly he was the second coming of the greats during the the '80s like Kenny Easily, Scott Case, and Gary Fencick being in the the same class of punishers during the '80s
Out of all the legendary defensive backs, Ronnie was the greatest. Not just as a player, but as a leader and a man. Best DB of all-time is consensus, but I also have him as equal 2nd best defender, alongside the Minister of Defense. LT first, obviously, totally unplayable.
Branon Fontaine Tatum hit harder than Lott pound for pound. Have you ever seen Jack Tatum hit Otis Taylor 6'5 230+ pounds, or how bout Earl Campbell, that was one of the hardest hits in NFL history. And it was against EARL CAMPBELL. It's incredible
And how much did that toothless prick weigh again? Lott hit as hard as he did, and he weighed much less than Lambert....sorry, but pound for pound, Lott is the hardest hitter the league has ever seen....
Dude, there's some differences. 1 - Tatum was unloyal to his fellow players. He hit to retire the guy, or kill, literally. Just a punk. Lott just went and played the game. 2 - Lott played CB, FS and SS. Tatum just played safety. 3 - Lott is on Hall of Fame, the other is not. 4 - Lott have won 4 SBs. Jack who? Get real
Oh, by saying that 'Lott played 3 positions', I mean that he was the best of the league in 3 different positions. Not only at corner, but at corner, FS, and SS. All-Pro level.
Branon Fontaine Dude, he said Tatum, not Lambert. Just FYI, Tatum played safety, both free and strong (usually strong) for the Raiders; Lambert played weak side middle linebacker for the Steelers. Tatum hit harder than either of them.

+Branon Fontaine cool man
The GREATEST DB EVER.
Dude was a picked as an All-Pro at 3 of the 4 secondary positions as a rookie....so you damn right he's the greatest DB the game has ever seen....
Branon Fontaine its debatable
Ethan K No It isn't debatable...He is the best of all time

lott = goat defensive back
Ronnie Lott was a badass for my 49ers
best free safety in the history of the game of football, Ronnie Lott No.42.
Thomas Wiggs True,but Strong safety was his natural position obviously.
4uFriday
My bad bro
I meant Strong Safety
@@4uFriday he actually only played 2 seasons as a strong safety. Corner was his natural position but slowed down a little and became free safety and mastered that position
@@crod67435 He was very good hitter and cover guy. Agreed
@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 It’s all good. Dude was a beast
The NFL's "Baddest Dude"
AGREED
I had the pleasure of meeting Rod Woodson's parents. Very nice people.

49er Strong Safety Ronnie Lott whacks Bengals tailback Ickey Woods
Super Bowl 23 🏟🏈
Greatest safety of all time
I'll never forget a hit he put on Thurman Thomas. I'm still trying to find that highlight.

Lott a true and fearsome WARRIOR
@1:14 Certified WOOO!
Best Defensive Back To ever play the game of football 🏈
The greatest strong safety of all time
Props no doubt...
Signed: A witness
#42 RONNIE LOTT!!!! 💥
1 tackle can set the tone for a game, AND end careers. Vernon Davis had his soul stolen by Kam Chancellor.
Ronnie LOTT!!!
Um, where is Brian Dawkins?
On a loser!
"WOoo!"
how is he only 4 on this list
Well, Jack Tatum should be higher than Ronnie Lott. He practically wrote the book on hard hits.
The only reason he's not ranked higher is because Bo Jackson straight steamrolled him.
How is he #4? He’s without a doubt #1.
Ronnie Lott is my cousin
+Avery Shaw
Me too.
Well tell your cousin, a lifelong 49er fan from Reno, Nevada will always love him.
Only 4?????
Jack Tatum hits harder....
Pound for pound, Lott is the hardest hitter the NFL has ever seen....Lambert is a top 5, but he did not out-hit Lott....
Branon Fontaine he said jack Tatum not jack lambert

***** I disagree, Butkus was just a dirty player tbh....
Ttam Thegreat and Jack knocked Earl out on his feet
Jack Tatum hit harder than Lott could ever wet dream about
