6'9' and 290 in 1966. The man was a giant. I met him at a huddle club meeting when I was 8 years old. To this day, I've never seen a man so larger than life. He retired to Pro wrestling the season the Chiefs won the SB. But he was there, on the sidelines and helped hoist Hank Stram in the air.



As I got older I learned more about his career as an athlete. Played basketball at Grambling. Was a great player.

StoneCold Chris Jones is probably 2nd now. He's the 3 time afterall.

DJ might be #3

McDuffie might actually be my #4 right now

I always really liked James Hasty too

I started watching in the 90's so I never got to see the old time greats.
