In recent news, NFL superstar Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams was accused of assault after a confrontation at a bar. However, the video later proved that Donald was actually removing the man from the incident, potentially saving his life. DeVincent Spriggs shared an image of his right eye swollen completely shut, blaming Donald for the injuries. Later, after the video surfaced, his attorney dropped the charges and issued an apology to Aaron Donald.
Although Donald was wrongly accused, it got us thinking, who are some NFL players in the league right now we wouldn't want to mess with? If a fight broke out in the bar you're hanging out in, who is the last NFL player you would want charging at you in anger? The NFL is stacked with incredible athletes who consistently battle it out. They're tough as nails and probably don't mind getting in a brawl if they could get away with it.
With plenty of players to choose from, here's a list of four NFL players, including Aaron Donald, that we would not want to mess with in a bar fight.
NFL tough guys:
Aaron Donald | DL | Los Angeles Rams
The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year is literally the last person we'd want to face off against in a bar fight. The guy is 6-1, 280 pounds of pure muscle. He explodes through offensive lineman like nothing, proving his brute strength is second to none. In the seven years, he's been in the league, Donald has secured double-digit sacks five times. He's a freak of nature athlete that would cause mayhem if he actually did get in a bar fight.
Derrick Henry | RB | Tennessee Titans
When Derrick Henry runs the ball it's like watching a tractor blast through the opposing defense. Nicknamed “El Tractorcito,” Henry has proven to be a brute in the run game. Not only has he shown to be one of the best running backs in the league, but he's perfected the stiff arm that literally sends NFL defenders flying through the air (R.I.P. Josh Norman). His stiff arm alone is why he's made this list, as he'd likely toss you across the bar, through the window, and into the middle of the street before you could even get your guard up.
Myles Garrett | DE | Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns superstar defensive end is not someone you would want to mess with. He consistently plays as a top defender in the NFL and is built like a truck. Not only is he dangerous with his speed, quickness, and power, but we've witnessed firsthand how the dude fights. After a wild confrontation against the Pittsburgh Steelers during a regular-season game, Garrett ripped Mason Rudolph's helmet off and swung it at him like a weapon. Garrett is already freakishly strong as it is, but he's the guy in the bar that snaps the pool stick in half to beat you with it. If I saw that, I'd quickly walk out and go home.
DK Metcalf | WR| Seattle Seahawks
Everyone knows the famous picture of Metcalf and AJ Brown flexing before they were drafted into the NFL. Metcalf is ripped beyond belief and has been bullying opposing cornerbacks in his first two years in the league. With 1,303 yards and 10 touchdowns last year, Metcalf routinely punished opposing defenses with his brilliant play. Angering him in the bar would be a death sentence, as his 6-4, 229-pound frame wouldn't even feel your punches. Even if you tried running away, you'd have no hope of escaping, as we witnessed him track down Budda Baker like a cheetah hunting its prey.
