Kam Chancellor has said that making hard hits show his "passion" for playing in the NFL.
The Seattle Seahawks safety made 11 tackles and an interception during the NFC championship game victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
The 25-year-old told reporters: "I just show my passion for the game, because when I go out there, all these hard hits and laying dudes out, that's just my passion for the game. That just shows how much I love this game and I'm just continuing to show how you should play this game."
Chancellor finished the regular season with 99 tackles, a forced fumble and three interceptions.
