10 Athletes That Are Ridiculously Large Human Beings

Minnesota Vikings Babatunde Alyegbusi Giant Polish-born lineman — The Minnesota Vikings just signed Polish-born Babatunde Aiyegbusi, an offensive tackle listed at 6-foot-9 and 351 pounds. Aiyegbusi would be perhaps the largest offensive lineman in the NFL. Alongside this near-mythical genetic achievement, here are 10 more athletes that are larger than life.

Mamadou Ndiaye UC Irvine Anteaters giant center — It was sad to see this beloved UC Irvine Anteater exit after just one round in the NCAA tournament. The 7-foot-6 Ndiaye occupied the entire paint for the Anteaters, and in what appeared to be about four strides, covered the length of the floor as well.

9. Vince Wilfork

9. Vince Wilfork

Vince Wilfork giant NFL player large — I’m surprised nobody has given this Houston Texans nose tackle the nickname “Forklift,” because that’s just about what it takes to move Wilfork unwillingly. Wilfork is listed at 325 pounds, but I don’t think both feet were on the scale.

8. Zdeno Chara

8. Zdeno Chara

Zdeno Chara Boston Bruins biggest NHL players — At 6-foot-9, 256 pounds, Zdeno Chara is proportionally planetary among professional hockey players. You’d think Chara would be quite giraffe-like on skates, but the giraffes don’t hit anything like Chara.

6. Hafthór Júlíus Björnsson

6. Hafthór Júlíus Björnsson

The Mountain Game of Thrones Hafthor Julius Bjornsson — So I did a Google search and found out that Aiyegbusi is not “the Mountain” from Game Of Thrones. It’s actually Hafthór Björnsson who is also an Icelandic strongman, and therefore an athlete. For those of you that are fans of “Game of Thrones” the television series, you’ve seen the grisly capabilities of this giant on screen.

5. Prince Fielder

Prince Fielder Texas Rangers biggest MLB players — Fielder makes this list on merits of girth. At “just” 6-feet tall, Fielder somehow weighs-in at a hefty 275 pounds.

Julius Peppers Russell Wilson Green Bay Packers Seattle Seahawks — This defensive end is a long guy and has had a long career. The 6-foot-7, 267 pound pass rusher also possesses a 7-foot wingspan.

2. Roy Hibbert

Roy Hibbert Indiana Pacers NBA biggest players — Standing 7-foot-2 and weighing nearly 300 pounds, Roy Hibbert is the biggest of the big men in the NBA. If the pros played with college defensive rules, Hibbert would never have to leave the paint.
