Alright, let’s gab about these big ol’ football fellas, the ones that make the ground shake when they walk. You know, the largest football players.
I heard tell of this Bryant McKinnie fella. Folks say he was one of the biggest in the NFL. Big as a barn, probably ate a whole hog for breakfast, I reckon. Can you imagine how much food that man needed? My goodness!
Then there’s this Aaron Gibson. Now, that’s a big boy! They say he was the heaviest fella to ever play in the NFL, a whopping 410 pounds! Lord have mercy, that’s like two of me and then some. He played offensive tackle, you know, the ones that keep them skinny quarterbacks safe. Played for a bunch of teams, Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys, even the Chicago Bears. Seems like nobody could move that fella once he planted his feet.
- Heaviest Ever: Aaron Gibson, 410 pounds. A real mountain of a man!
Now, speaking of heavy, there’s this Trent Brown fella playing for the New England Patriots. He ain’t no lightweight neither, tipping the scales at 380 pounds. That’s still a whole lotta man to get around! Another offensive tackle, them fellas gotta be big, I guess. Gotta protect them fancy pants quarterbacks, right?
But you know, big ain’t just about weight. There’s tall too! I heard about this fella named Sligh. Seven foot tall! Seven foot! Can you believe it? He was the tallest player ever in professional football. Imagine looking up at that giant! Makes my neck hurt just thinking about it. They say there were a few others close to him, like Matt O’Donnell and Morris Stroud, but nobody quite as tall as Sligh.
- Tallest Ever: Sligh, 7 foot tall. Could probably see over the whole dang stadium!
And then there’s the college boys. This Watson kid, plays for Florida. He’s a big one too, 6 foot 5 and over 400 pounds! They say he’s one of the biggest to ever play college ball. Started playing in 2021, and was a starter in 2022. Young fella, but already a giant. Makes you wonder what those boys eat, must be some powerful stuff.
So yeah, there’s all kinds of big in football. Big and heavy like Aaron Gibson, big and tall like Sligh, and even big college boys like Watson. It takes all kinds, I reckon, but one thing’s for sure, these fellas ain’t easy to miss. They’re the ones that make you say, “Whoa, look at the size of that fella!” And honestly, that’s half the fun of watching, seeing these big ol’ boys go at it.
Why are they so big? Well, it seems like most of these big fellas are offensive tackles. Their job is to protect the quarterback, and you gotta be big and strong to do that. Imagine some little fella trying to stop a 400-pound Aaron Gibson. Ain’t gonna happen! These big guys are like walls, nothing getting through them unless they say so.
It’s amazing to me how much these fellas weigh and how tall some of them are. It’s a whole different world, I tell ya. But it sure is interesting to hear about these largest football players. They’re something else, that’s for sure. Makes you wonder if they have special chairs and beds, ’cause I can’t imagine them fitting in regular stuff.
Anyways, that’s the lowdown on some of the biggest football players. Big fellas, doing big things on the football field. And that’s all there is to it.
And remember, being big ain’t everything, but in football, it sure helps!
