As clothing, football players are substantial people (the average excess weight of NFL players within the 250-range), and linemen are even bigger. There are hundreds with men who weigh above 300 pounds in today's NFL. But the 400 pound plateau is mostly a level not many have got attained.
Meet Terrell Brown, a former defensive tackle at Ole Miss that just signed a contract together with the St. Louis Rams. The undrafted free agent was previously listed at 6'10", 385 excess weight. Now? 403.
"Actually, we considered him in at 403, " Rams private coach Jeff Fisher said. "We had him in for the tryout, and he'd some issues that there were to clear up on a physical standpoint. He became them put behind your ex. "
This isn't just a huge concern of "God damn that guy is huge! " The ideal bodyweight for someone that height approximately 250 pounds — even if you pack on another 100 pounds perhaps just because he games football, he's still 50 lbs overweight. And the enormousness involving NFL teams — despite the fact that a temporary asset when aiming to open up running lanes or get following on from the quarterback — is finding its way back to haunt many former players. This New York Times article from 2011 details just some of the high-profile big fellas who died early from complications via obesity, including Reggie White and Grettle Hand.
Think about it in this way: The dude nicknamed "The Refrigerator" considered about 325. Terrell Brown is the same as the Fridge holding some sort of 11-year-old boy.
We hope the Rams can help Brown get into some semblance of shape in the future. We don't need anything this way going down on a great NFL sideline:
