Sorry, but that don’t fly.
When I was growing up, Ahamad Rashad was the most gregarious of the “don’t hit me” guys.
Robert Earle was a Hall-of Fame ^pussy^.
The Greatest Show on Turf receivers for the Rams—Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt—would do the same. I remember criticizing them at them time because they would flop rather than take a hit or fight for extra yardage when they had already secured a first down. It was frustrating to watch but now I see the effectiveness of it. If the difference is an extra meaningless yard and the clock doesn’t matter, step out of bounds.
