That would be the Parramatta Eels's prop forward, who weighs 110 kg of hard muscle and can hit speeds of 32km/h. His job is unsophisticated (which is always good in football - prevents confusion): receive the ball at full gallop and run straight at the opposition.

Apparently, it is like trying catch a 20 kilogram bag of cement that has been dropped from 22 metres. In other words, he hits his opponents with a force of 14g. Given that 4-6g sustained for a few seconds is enough to black you out...
