The only person that collides at full speed in a football game are recievers, and kick returners (RARELY, as I wave my hand not to get hit) and it doesn't happen at full speed all that often. QB's can get hit pretty good too, but the number of full speed collisions in football is actually quite low. I would guess that the on average hockey players get hit harder and more often than the typical football player.
