In my lifetime the hardest hitter was Ronnie Lott. Next would be Steve Atwater and then John Lynch.

Was going to mention Lott, as well. I've heard other players say the hardest they've ever been hit was by Lott.

Players were far more disposable back then. However, it would also been called "wussified" as compared to the earliest years of the game. Forty players were killed in the college game during the 1931 season alone.
