The linebacker was a rock, shattering the fleet footed running back that slammed into him, as easily as the windshield of a car speeding down the turnpike splats a bug. What kind of figurative language is this?

The linebacker was a rock = metaphor
Shattering the fleet footed running back that slammed into him = hyperbole
As easily as the windshield of a car speeding down the turnpike... = simile
