Hall of Fame safety Ronnie Lott is known as one of the toughest players in NFL history. That reputation was built on plenty of hard hits, but also his decision to amputate part of his pinkie finger. He smashed his finger against the Dallas Cowboys, and after the season decided to have part of the finger amputated. He faced reconstructive surgery and a sizable rehab, so he decided to go with the amputation to reduce the recovery time.
Given his fairly unique experience, it is no surprise Lott has been interviewed on the subject of Jason Pierre Paul and his fireworks injury.
