 Alright you guys, what is going on? Welcome back to another video. Today's video, we're just going to crack straight into it guys. This thumbnail, okay, this one right here, this one, from KTO, meet the ugliest player in NFL history. I've seen this thumbnail so many times, I've been recommended Jack Lambert so many fucking times, we're finally going to watch it, okay? Let's get straight into it, Jack Lambert, I'm not going to do any research, all I know is he's one ugly motherfucker and he was pretty ruthless. So let's get into it man, Jack Lambert finally. If you have seen my previous videos, I have shown you what toughness, scary and pure intimidation look like. If you combine all those things into a man's face, it would look like this. Is Jack Lambert the centerpiece through the 70s and early 80s? I thought that was just his mouth guard like blacked out, but he's actually got no teeth. Okay. The fuck? Come on mate. First of all, I just love the old NFL film's presentation of Jack Lambert. Legend has it, he hit glass and pounded his head against lockers before waiting for. He announced on a Monday night game that he hailed from Buzzard's Breath Wyoming. He decreed that all quarterbacks should wear dresses. At first, I thought they were making this stuff up. Do you think there should be any rules changes for the safety of the quarterback? But it might be a good idea to put dresses on all of them, that might help a little bit. He wasn't that scary, he actually looks like a normal human then. Beat before, he was ejected for a late down quarterback. Anyways, Jack Lambert would go on to revolutionize the middle linebacker position, which is odd considering he was a quarterback in high school, who mostly focused on basketball. After being recruited to Kent State to play quarterback, because of his size and quickness, his sophomore year, he moved to the other side of the ball to play defensive end, and then eventually to middle linebacker. Here's an interesting fact. Middle linebacker. Alabama head coach Nick Saban. Saban was a defensive back, while Lambert played middle linebacker. Lambert had also gone to school to become a veterinarian. Yeah, imagine then taking care of your pet. To be fair, the dude was a nice guy off the field. As this article puts it, he's a quiet, extremely private man. A bird watcher and avid fisherman. He spent much of his off seasons ensuring greater privacy by building himself a country retreat about 40 miles northeast of the city. So a nice, quiet guy off the field, but on the field, that's a whole different story. That's what you find, usually. The career Kent State was successful enough to be drafted by the Stillers in 1974. He just kicked him. What the fuck? He felt the outside concerns about his size and didn't believe his skill set would translate to the next level. But the Stillers saw potential in him. They had plans to play him outside linebacker. Entering training camp, Jack Lambert was six foot four and only weighed 205 pounds. He was so slender when one of the Stillers administrators saw him for the first time, he told the coaches, oh, there's another wasted pick. Another thing about Jack, he didn't look crazy when he first got to Pittsburgh. He was actually a decent looking guy. The iconic, toothless image of Jack Lambert started in his childhood. He had forties knocked out while playing basketball. The dentist would give him removable dentures. His mom says when he lost his dentures while swimming, he stayed out of school until the dentist made him a replacement. He hated the look that much. He wears his dentures at all times, except when he was on the field. Except when he was on the field. Hmm, interesting. That's a key factor to the fact that this guy is the ugliest player in any of our history. That's why. Maybe it's not such a bad thing to get your teeth knocked out. During his rookie year, he was a backup outside linebacker. But fate would have it that the starting middle linebacker Henry Davis would suffer an injury. The Stillers decided to try something out and put Jack in middle linebacker. This would end up being one of the greatest moves in NFL history. He would go on to win defensive rookie of the year and help lead the Stillers to their first Super Bowl victory. Here's how Jack Lambert revolutionized the position. Before this, the prototypical middle linebacker was the mold of a big butt kiss. Or Ray Nitschkin. A big meme. I've looked at both of these guys. Jack Lambert was smaller, faster, quicker, and his versatility would allow him to drop back in coverage, cover sideline to sideline, and make any tackle. Having a defense focus on the middle linebacker being this versatile in the pass and run game, he came out as the Tampa two. And Lambert was perfect for it. I wonder what his weight got to. BAM! Suplex! That's the same as Ray Lewis. Ray Lewis said, you don't want to be liked out here, you want to be respected. It's better to be respected than to be liked. That's what he said. He would sit alone on the end of the bench, his breath steaming out from underneath the towel that was draped over his head. Plus, if you played against him, he hated you. And he would let it be known. During the 76 Super Bowl, the Stillers kicker missed a crucial field goal. And one of the Cowboys players, Cliff Harris, thanked him for missing the field goal. And Jack Lambert did not like it. By the time Bangles running back Archie Burtham has an interesting story about when he was blocking Jack Lambert. And I went to Jack with a great deal of intensity and I caught him with a great block. Hitting with the best block in my entire professional career. Back to the huddle. To my surprise, the next play called in the 18th was the same play. It tossed me to the full back. And I got out there wide right and looked down the side to see where Jack was lined up. I wanted to make sure that I would take the same approach to him that I had taken to play before. But looked down the side, I noticed that Jack was staring right back at me. I went after Jack with the same intensity that I had gone after in the play before. This time I got right into his face ready to explode into another great block. But wham! He hit me with a forearm that you cannot believe. Lifted me up, put me flat on my back, went across the line of scrimmage, and tackled Pete Johnson for a three-yard loss. Well after the play was over, I was still lying on the ground because Jack hit me so hard he had put me in a date. Jack saw me lying there and he walked over and took me to the top and looked down at me. And he said, Griffin, if you ever, if you ever try to block me, you know, bite your head off me. Unfortunately for Jack, what he was great at was overshadowed by his image. According to fellow teammates and former coaches, everyone rate about how perfect the new technique was. His football attitude with the charts and being that great, along with the multitude of other great players, is why they won four Super Bowls. He led the team to tackles year in and year out. He averaged 146 per season through his tenth year. In the real world, he's a nice dude. A deputy wildlife officer who coaches a bit of youth sports. A lot of people talk about how nice of a guy he is, but don't get me wrong. You don't want to piss the guy off. So the number Jack wore, number 58, is unofficially retired by the team. This means technically a player can choose number 58. But just some advice, I wouldn't do that. Don't do it. He reportedly told the equipment manager he was not to issue out his number. And apparently the equipment manager just ignored Lambert and tried to issue out the number anyway. And when Lambert found this out, he later fought the equipment manager outside of the facility because he tried to give out his number. Is anything ever dirtiest player in NFL history?
