OT: John Riggins 30 for 30

Anyone else enjoy watching this? I was surprised to see how fast he was, ran a 9.8 100 yard dash (yards not meters) in high school. He was great at finding holes and openings, great speed, not good breaking change of direction thought.

When did that come out? Sounds interesting. The NFL Network did a Football Life on him several years ago as well

I was watching a Redskins game where one of the announcers said "Tom Osborne invented the 300lb lineman" Remember the nickname for their line was "The Hogs"
