"Atkins was the most magnificent physical specimen I
had ever seen." -- Weeb Ewbank "One of his favorite tricks was to throw a blocker at the quarterback." -- Johnny Unitas "I played against some mean ones, but I never met anyone meaner than Atkins. After my first meeting with him, I really wanted to quit pro football. He just beat the hell out of me. He rammed me back there so hard the only thing I could do was wave to Johnny (Unitas) as I went by. It was awful. Finally, my coaches convinced me that not every pro player was like Atkins." -- Jim Parker "They threw away the mold when they made Doug. There'll never be another like him." -- Tom Fears |
