I think for Jack's size, he did amazing things. I just don't expect someone as wiry as he was to do the things he did, and THAT makes him better in my opinion. It SHOULD have come easier for Butkus--he had the size, Jack didn't, so that makes him tougher in my opinion. For a guy to be so "small" and not be afraid to go up against the biggest of them, and play like he did? Now THAT takes guts.
