DE SKINS FAN Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I was just wondering if you guys knew who the biggest player in NFL history was. Who's the biggest now? I was having a convo with a friend and we can't quite figure it out. I guess it would be interesting to know who was the smallest too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinthePRF Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Aaron Gibson? Leonard Davis? Smallest? Eric Yarber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drex Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 The biggest: I'd say Aaron Gibson The Smallest: Lionel "Little Train" James, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Dave Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Aaron Gibson. Pretty sure the only 400+ pounder to ever play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsBry Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Gilbert Brown was pretty darn big (over 400lbs.) at one time, too big and he didn't play one or two years because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fischer fan Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I know this doesn't answer your question..... but I heard a rumor back in the '70s that George Allen attempted to sign Andre the Giant, the famous wrestler, to the Redskins. If this were true and he did play... he probably would have been the biggest. Has anyone else heard this story? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsniper1 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Gibson 6'6" 410lbs at one point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoEd Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Anyone remember Wally Kline? I saw him at Carlisle PA during training camp and that guy was freakin huge,6'10" I think. Not neccesarily big around but a giant of a man. He never really caught on for whatever reason but my god was he a big man. Joe Jacoby was by no means a small man.

RIDETHEWALRUS Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Littlest: Taylor Jacobs...oh wait thats littlest production. What about Darren Sproles? Isn't he like 5'5" 155lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't he like 5'5" 155lbs As far as modern players go (because guys back in the day were smaller, so I can't say for sure), Flutie is probably the smallest, not Sproles. In cleats he's like 5'4".

ashburnskinsfan Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 The smallest, at least in Madden '06, was New York Jets lineman Michael King. His height was entered incorrectly and so he appeared as 7 inches tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fight_on_til_you_have_won Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 As far as modern players go (because guys back in the day were smaller, so I can't say for sure), Flutie is probably the smallest, not Sproles. In cleats he's like 5'4". Believe it or not, Flutie is listed as 5'10", although I've heard from and read various sources saying he's 5'9". Either way, he's taller than Barry Sanders (5'8").
