Today’s topic is about huge football players. Football players can be very huge. I’ve heard talk of one or two football players in their teens playing high school football in the past. 7 feet tall and around 400 pounds. But I do not know if any of those boys played professional or college football later on.

It’s got to be hard playing against a giant football player. If he falls on you, and if you’re small, that’s got to hurt because a giant player is so big and strong. I would be concerned about how fast a giant football player could run and if he would need to loose weight.

Just imagine looking up at a giant tall football player ready to tackle you. Ready to fall on you and he’s weighing 400 pounds. That ought to make somebody run for sure on a football team. I mean run for your life, but head for a touch down.

In the NFL, there have been guys playing football 6 feet tall and around 300 pounds. .. and around 400 pounds. Some are 6 feet 9 and 6 feet 8. The tallest player in professional American football history is Richard Sligh. He was 7 foot 2.

I think there are some guys out there waiting to play professional football just as tall. I don’t know how many pounds Richard was. I would like to actually see someone play as tall as Richard in football. Football. Not soccer football but football.
