I ain’t taking no hits? wtf? You don’t want permanent brain damage for 5 more yards? Don’t want to someday trip and kill yourself and whole family? I’d rather be called soft too.

I played football in my highschool years and getting hit isnt a good feeling especially if your in the air trying to catch a football,or running with ball and get popped 😒

Smart... more receivers need to adapt this style. 2, 3, 4 more yards wouldn't mean anything. Does the name Marvin Harrison #88 (HOF) ring a bell ???

So honestly I don't wanna see any football player sliding unless he is a QB. Yeah I also don't wanna see anyone unnecessarily getting hurt but this is also football and it's what many pay to see and what NFL players get paid well for, very well. so yeah every once in a blue moon it's fine, but I wouldn't wanna see it week end and week out. will change the game. Who wants to see receivers dropping to the ground every time there is danger. I don't think those players should be even giving up and thinking they have no chance instead of thinking that they can run the ball down their throats right through them like a wrecking ball and get more yards. That's just receivers being scared of getting hurt and I get it but the best football is No fear. Just like others in the comments said. Many teams will bench you if they see too much of that. Scared money don't make money.

Through the regular season I say smart. In the playoffs you better put your body and life on the line.

Real SMART athletes know that was a very smart play. Heck, Analytics and AI would say that was a smart play. What's the probability of a WR BREAKING a tackle running towards two defenders. Now, I could see if Amon-Ra was a yard from the touchdown, and he did that...ride him, but he wasn't. come on... far far far too many players get hurt trying to fight for ONE YARD. In a sport that an injury can cost a player his career, playing time, and a NICE PAY DAY... good move on his part.

The number one reason why I can’t play in the NFL is because I could only take one NFL hit. Both players driving with cleats digging and spines compressing… I’d WAY rather take a hockey hit. At least then you get blasted off your feet.

I mean Tyler lockett has been doing it for years as a undersized wide out and his career has lasted and he has very few injuries because of it and he may not be a top ten wide receiver or anything but he's a guy every team would love to have I'm sure. look out for yourself cause Noone else will in this world

he gained a bit of yardage, he avoided getting hurt, first down probably wasn't to far down...I say it was a smart play.

You got 4 quarters to play. No point in getting wrecked when you already got the first down. Save that for when it counts.

Absofuckinglutely smart. Refreshed the set. What else was he going to do with 3 defenders coming at him except risk getting hurt. Next set he scored the TD.

Smart af because for 1, it preserves ur mind n body. One hit can end ur month or season. Plus it keeps the defense on their feet and they won't be ready when u run by them.

Wouldnt have to happen if these clowns actually played professionally and weren't out to purposely hurt other players, dudes look legitimately angry they didn't get to try to line him up after he made that catch, you aint gettin a bonus for gettin a big hit, youre supposed to wrap him up and bring him down that's it
