The big rage on the Internet today — besides Popemania — is 7-foot, 440-pound King Riverside lineman John Krahn. Basically, if you have ever wanted to watch The Big Show play football, this is about as close as you will get.
Krahn is so big that he needs at least two people to stretch, and the team to get him off his back (probably).
According to Max Preps, he’s “raw” and looking to shed some weight off his hefty frame in order to tempt Division I coaches into giving him a shot:
There’s no doubt that, right now, Krahn is a raw player. He excels in the weight room, but struggles with his footwork. He is relatively new to the sport, but is working hard to improve.
“I’ve had minimal experience,” Krahn said. “I started in high school, but I’ve trained my way through, going to different camps.”
Krahn told MaxPreps that he’s attempting to shed some pounds by adhering to a 3,000-calorie diet comprised mainly of fish and chicken.
“I have to lose weight, for our team,” he said.
You can watch Krahn’s highlight video below, but we must warn you to not go in with high expectations. The most exciting part is probably at the 10-second mark, where he’s drawn offsides and has no choice but to pancake some poor normal-sized high school kid.
