"One of the athletic feats for which Youngblood is best known,
is that of playing the entire 1979 playoffs, including Super Bowl XIV, with a fractured left fibula.
He also played in the 1980 Pro Bowl with the injured leg, a week after the Super Bowl."

I bet that just felt great.
Just goes to show what an amazing football player Jack Youngblood was, I could'nt even imagine walking through pain like that
Man has this been blown way outta proportion. It was a hairline fracture , the kind that sometimes doesn't even show up on an x-ray and also the kind that people sometimes don't even know they have. Yes he was a great player but he legend making done by NFL films etc, gets a little outta hand sometimes. Nuff said.
