The Dummervil hit in 2011 was awesome

Chief fan here and yes Atwaters hit was legitimately No. 1, we still love our Nigerian Nightmare!

That hit by Mecklenburg on Marcus Allen was one of the most vicious I ever saw until Atwater came along, and was a feature highlight on local Bronco shows for years. Plunkett completely left Allen out to dry on that pass and Meck leveled the hell out of him.

Forget broncos hit. Atwater laying out okoye is the greatest hit ever.

So happy you have the Dennis Smith hit on Rosevelt Potts. Haven't seen that in ages. What a time when Smith and Atwater were running around laying dudes out.

Al Wilson is a beast miss him

That T.D. special teams hit as a rookie was a special treat. Especially his extracurricular "STAY DOWN!" push after the hit. Beautiful

Who could not like these devastating hits by the Denver Broncos!

Dumerville hit NEVER gets old! Go BRONCOS!

#27 Steve Atwater best Broncos hitter of all time !

The second I saw you included the Super Bowl 32 McCaffrey block, I hit the like button. No "best block/hit" list is complete if that one isn't included . Only because I'm a biased Broncos fan and remember how badass it was when it happened 🤣

I miss old school football

Loved the smiling Assassin!

Okoye's career went down the toilet after that hit. He was very hyped, people supposedly couldn't stop him. Atwater knocked him on his ass and I think it disintegrated his confidence.

Dennis Smith rarely gets the credit he deserves, he was a killer!

I feel for Cam but I'm sorry, that wasn't a foul. Barrett couldn't do anything about it, Cam put his head down last second.

I love how McCaffrey points down after his block.

2:06 on repeat all day.

Who watching 2019

I’m a Broncos fan, former chiefs running back Barry Word used to live a couple houses down from me.

Thx for #9 that Kenoy Kennedy vs Chris Chambers hit is hard to find , also thank god for KZfaq as for many years I thought I was the only one who remembered the time that Dennis Smith killed the Roosevelt Potts hype train just as Atwater did to Okoye. If I remember right that game was the 3rd or 4th of RPs rookie year and he had been a big surprise in the first quarter of that season w/ having a few 100 yd games of powerful running. It was right around the time in a season when announcers/etc first start up their ROY talk & then Blammo - Dennis Smith.

Bronco Country😎

Glad to see Eddy Mac and Brother Lynch make the list

Good to see Al Wilson. I loved that guy. I completely forgot about that Todd Heap hit. As good and as big of a hitter Dennis Smith was, he's overshadowed by Atwater. I'd have put #5 at 4 over the Romo hit for sure.

I love the broncos

Terrell Davis on kick off? That's awesome

3:33 "...and that is how Terrell Davis was born." "The rest is history".

I think TD’s Preseason hit should be higher, if he didn’t make that play he might not have made the team

great video

Romanowski was the beast !!!!!!

those Dennis Smith hits on Roosevelt Potts and bill Johnson were pretty vicious as were those Atwater hits😳😲 😆😂🤗🤗 And watching Mike harden punish Steve largent was really a pleasure to watch. Too bad Elvis didn't deliver a helmet to helmet hit on Brady though,that would of definitely ended that cheater's career early 😆😂

Man so many hard hitting guys in Denver!! Atwater, Smith, Lynch, Mecklenburg, Wilson, Kennedy, ....

Atwater should be in th HOF

Thanks for making this. I'll be watching it all season long to cope with the pain of watching Russell baseball slide for 4 quarters

The E Dille sack on Brady is a rare sight to see! Brady didnt get sacked like that at all... LOVE IT

Huge fan of both Lynch and Atwater. They both seem to explode on contact when putting those big licks on those poor receivers!!! 😂 Brian Dawkins, Ronnie Lott, Ed Reed...all those big hitters all seem to have that certain something that happens at the point of contact that is just so vicious and so goddamn awesome to watch!!! Oh and my guy Harrison Smith too!! Lol!!!

Well done!

I was at that game #7

I was getting REAL antsy when Okoye/Atwater hit wasn't coming up....until last. Well played.

Best hit compilation on KZfaq

The Nigerian Nightmare is still waking in a cold sweat dreaming of the Smilin Assasin. Christian had a 7 yard head of steam and got planted...he was never the same runner.

Nice

No surprise Steve Atwater has #1 and #2 That hit in the super bowl was legendary knocked 3 ppl out counting himself. Also Eddiemac's block in the same game was great I love how he pointed to the dude after he laid him on his back.

Steve Atwater risked it all to hit his own teammate 😂😂

Steve Atwater ....The U of A.....he was the reason I liked the Broncos , still do, his hits were UNREAL even in college....WPS BABY!!

Kareem Jacksons hit on Hopkins from 2019 needs added to this. Atwater is an animal.

Steve Atwater, Dennis Smith, John lynch, mike Harden, karl mecklenburg, al Wilson, bill romanowski,elvis dumerville, uhmm yeah AKA ORANGE CRUSH.

Didnt even watch it but ik atwaters hit on okoye is on here and it better be number one 😂

Very nice compilation. The only one missing - and it's tough to locate - was Randy Gradishar sending Saints TE Henry Childs' helmet sailing 15 yards downfield.

RIP headphone users 1:35

Damn I miss these hits by Denver Bronco players. Makes me want to be a better Denver Broncos fan

Last season in a game vs the steelers on the goalline is right up there. I forget who done it but it was the cleanest hit ive ever seen.

Let’s go broncos

The Broncos defense this year is playing just like this! They’re bringing physical football back

#2 Hit - Steve Atwater SB32 Last Drive Hit. I feel very bad for Robert Brooks as all of his fingers are pointing in all the wrong directions. Atwater & Hilliard likely get concussed but RB had other non-head problems. He also did show his awareness & toughness by getting up and off in a timely manner to hopefully preserve GBs last time out from being taken for an injured player. In the end they charged both sides a TO as while RB got up and off - the ref(s),has to notice his hand as he left the field and he was also ruled “injured”.

My parents were at the okoye game

That’s that orange 🍊 crush! 😤😤😤🧡💙

Not a bronco fan just a huge John Lynch fan and I knew he’d be on this list a few times

Nice job including McCaffrey in the super bowl. :)

The Smiling Assassin was an absolute MONSTER

My broncos can i get a hell yeah 😎

#7 might be my fav ever

#19 no disrespect to Chris Henry may he rest in piece but geesh what a hit by Lynch. He had Henry sitting there like damn! I was almost there!

13 is number 1

Steve Atwater needs to be in HOF. If he played for the NY Jets he would already be in. Bs.

Liynch very very god 😊😊😄,

I still remember when Al Wilson went down against the Seahawks. I cried that night

Atwater knocked out 3 people, including himself 😂🐐

Great list , although I’d take the Romo - Curtis Martin collision into the teens and move up the rest a slot each , BUT that’s really not picking as it’s a pretty solid job 1-20

Al Wilson on Ricky Williams imo should be no. 1. Great video

Good times.

Steve Atwater is this list if you ask me. wait do I hear the autumn wind at 1:01 isnt that the oakland raiders theme song?

Amazing times. Probably every one would be flags today

Two need to be added. Gradshiers hit on Earl Campbell on the goal line. Campbell went over the top, meet #53 and got knocked back 4 yards. And how about Rich Karlis when he karate kicked a Oakland Raider on a kickoff.

Those USC DB's were Str8 Killers: R. Lott, D. Smith, J. Browne, Coach J. Fisher & C. LEE

I think it's a tie between Atwater's hit on Okoye and John Lynch's hit on Dallas Clark. It was clean shot and Clark didn't know where he was for awhile.

If your a true Bronco fan we all knew who number 1 was going to be.

I miss atwater, braxton, john lynch, brian dawkins, john mobely, bill romanouski , stewart, tj ward, elvis dumberville, dj williams!! Al wilson!! Damn i can keep going

John Lynch... Wow!

Atwater’s hit on Okoye practically ruined his career in my opinion, was never the same after

honestly one of the most impressive things in this video is 2:13 where brady is able to get up practically unfazed after getting rocked by dumerville. i hate the guy with a passion, but jesus that’s tough

Damn

Number 10 started a career. Number 1 sealed a career.

Stand up for those broncos let’s go

This wouldn't even be a big hit video without Steve Atwater being on there at LEAST 5 times.

Now that Steve Atwater is in the HOF, why is Randy Gradishar still NOT IN THE HOF? Before Steve Atwater, there was Randy Gradishar laying guys out flatter than pancakes... While not Broncos, two other heavy hitters that are noticeably missing from the HOF are NYJ defenders Joe Klecko & Mark Gastineau. Klecko was a Pro Bowler at 3 different positions while Gastineau retired as the single-season/career Sacks record holder... Writers need to PUT DOWN THE DOPE.

Al Wilsons fourth n inches stop was fucking incredible

I wish that they would have added the audio before and after the Atwater hit on Okoye. (Atwater) Is Christian in? (Unknown) Yeah, he's in, why? (Atwater) 'Cause I'm gonna put him on his ass! Then, after one of the nastiest hits in the history of the NFL.. (Unknown) Why did you help him up? (Atwater) 'Cause it's my game baby!

I was wondering when or if you had Steve Atwater and Dennis Smith. They're at the top,of course.

Dennis Smith and Karl Mecklenburg both should be in the Hall of Fame!!!! As well as Randy Gradishar!!!!

This is a bit random, but if anyone can find the tackles that Phillip Lindsay had on Special Teams in the preseason for his first year, I would love to see them. I don't think he had any crazy hits like TD, but I immediately thought of TD when Lindsay made these tackles.

All the busts in the hall are on a swivel, there's a Silent Assassin in the hall.

20th Century hits are 21st Century Personal Fouls.

Atwater laying out his own teammate at number 2 was vicioi, Atwater was out cold

Heck, rewind to the late 60s and early 70s and you'll find Rich Jackson #87 smashing QBs and RBs on a regular basis.

Al Wilson...geez he could hit.

Atwater vs okoye should be #1 for a very long time. I might shuffle a few around myself. But I would've been pissed if that wasn't #1. Not bad at all!

Great list. But where was the Al Wilson Ricky Williams hit?

RIP Chris Henry. John Lynch 💪

Kareem Jackson on deandre Hopkins last season needs to be on this list
