Just an example - here are the stats on an experienced defensive lineman who plays for the winners of the last Super Bowl:

He's 6'1" and 23 stone. He won't be running anywhere quickly in the near future.

What I mean is what most people see when watching is not players tackling but blocking. there is only one tackle in each play but as many as 9 or 10 blocks( blockers are not allowed to hold, just push/obstruct forward momentum) to the casual viewer from a rugby background they look like poor attempts at tackling. What is evident is that when watching the NFL is that they hardly ever miss a tackle one on one if they can get past the blocking & that would transfer directly to League.
