It was Fred Williamson not Hollywood Henderson who I was trying to remember earlier:

Then there was Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, the Kansas City cornerback who parlayed his tough-guy image into a few action-movie roles. Just before the Chiefs played the Packers in Super Bowl I, Williamson promised to level a few Green Bay receivers with the forearm shiver that was his trademark.

Instead, with the game safely put away, the Packers pulled guard Gale Gillingham and ran a sweep at - and directly over - Williamson in the fourth quarter. "Laid him out like a bear rug, too," a Packer official recalled Tuesday - 36 years later. "Some hammer."
