Chuck Norris won Super Bowls VII and VIII singlehandedly before unexpectedly retiring to pursue a career in ***-kicking.

No offense, TyghtWork, but there is simply no downplaying Chuck Norris' superiority to the entire NFL. I guess that is the article author's good point.

I think it's safe to say this is all going over your head, lol. Go to Google and search Chuck Norris and it will bring up an entire list of jokes that a few of these posters referencing.

Of all the other players on all eight listed rosters, only four can match Tebow's toughness: Philip Rivers, Logan Mankins, Nick Mangold and, naturally, Wes Welker. One point down at 97 are Mike Vrabel and Patriots rookies Zac Robinson and Rich Ohrnberger. White people, apparently, are very, very tough.

Tim Tebow makes Chuck Norris look like a scared little baby. oh I cant wait until preseason

Tebow is a disciple of Jesus. Now Jesus may walk on water, but Chuck Norris can swim through land.

Wow, seems like I hit a nerve here. Didn't expect to get so many serious replies to a joke thread. But thanks Dalewood for pointing out to some that the comparison is in fact a joke.
And thanks to Equinox for pointing out one of the "good" points. According to wikipedia "recent surveys have shown that the NFL is approximately 57-61% non-white" yet at least the top 8 toughest guys in the NFL are white. Again just a joke so don't jump down my throat.

But seriously, you mean to tell me that Rich Ohrnberger is tougher than Ray Lewis? I mean how do they determine that after Rich's huge NFL resume of 3 games appeared in? Or maybe this Wikipedia story is what gave him such high marks:
"Ohrnberger earned a reputation as a class clown and prankster while at Penn State. Perhaps his most infamous prank involved impersonating teammate A. Q. Shipley during an October 2008, conference call interview with reporters.^[5][6] He performed stand-up comedy at the Hollywood Improv during team activities prior to the 2009 Rose Bowl.^{[7]"
I guess doing stand-up comedy can give someone a boost to their toughness.}

I wasn't trying to make any point. I just saw a funny article and wanted to share it. But if we want to talk serious then what is the point of a toughness rating and how can they possibly rate all NFL players on a numerical scale in it? How can Tebow or any QB for that matter seriously be stronger than NFL Linemen?
