The Hammer

Nickname for pro bowler Fred Williamson and given because of the blow to the head style, clothesline, forearm chop that he brutalized other players with. A blow that was perpendicular to the surface of the Earth. In other words he would swing his arm like a Hammer, at his opponent thus braking their helmet. This move is no longer legal in pro football. Inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame in 1996. 

Green Bay will feel the wrath of The Hammer.

I'm gonna drop The Hammer on ya!
