It doesn't exactly take a charging football player to throw someone off-balance though. .
It would seem complicated and pointless as there are no such creatures in the real world and why would anybody genetically engineer one. Bio-tech wouldn't let you do it without TL12 active nanites. I'm not sure an ankylosarus had DR10.

Being thrown off balance is not kniockback. You can lose your balance and fall down without any bullets or football players being involved at all. Knockback (a game mechanically specific term) is not just any backward movement..
