Gaulden's Training Camp Hit Reminds of Mike Minter in '97

In a distant time, long ago when players hit hard in practice, rookie Mike Minter crashed into Rocket Ismail, sending his helmet flying and leaving him writhing in pain and with three different injuries that sidelined him for three weeks. Today, Rashaan Gaulden hit veteran Jarius Wright in the endzone, which sent both the players and Twitter into a panic. They just don't hit like they used to, and on a day where Ross Cockrell heard his leg crack in practice and a day after Daryl Williams dislocated his right patella and tore his MCL, we're probably glad it's a thing of the past.
