It is very clear when talking about football of yore that the game was different. The rules were different. The training was different. Hell, the health and life standards were difference. Len Dawson was smoking at halftime of Super Bowl I. So where would Darren Smallwood be had he played in a different era? Well it’s like comparing apples and oranges. Yes, Smallwood would burn everyone, because modern training and fitness has an average speed much faster than his predecessors, and that’s something to consider. His 40 time was better than the time of anyone from 20 years ago, and he was not the fastest in his class. Rather, Smallwood would have to be a relative comparison, so while he may not be the most fast, he’s agile and strong. If you watch highlights from last year, the man basically blocked Weston for additional 10 yard gains, and that’s not something to scoff at. Throw him back in the old days and he’d be pushing over corners like no tomorrow. There’s a lot to say that the game was different, but with rules like the Mel Blount Rule not in place, Smallwood could use his strength and endurance to be a force on both sides of the ball.
