Packers get DT Kenny Clark with 1st round pick

I saw him on the Green Bay ABC affiliate, he's 6 feet 4, and 315 pounds!
Is he the biggest guy in pro football right now?
Or how big is the biggest guy?

DORAL, Fla. -- Former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal is now a reserve police officer in South Florida.
Doral Police Chief Donald De Lucca swore the retired basketball player in during a ceremony Tuesday afternoon. Shaq had originally applied in September. He will not receive a salary and will cover his own insurance costs.
O'Neal will commute to work from his homes in Fort Lauderdale and Orlando. De Lucca told The Miami Herald that Shaq will mostly be doing community work, serving as a role model for children.
O'Neal has previously served as a reserve police officer for Miami Beach and Golden Beach in Florida; in Tempe, Arizona; and the Port of Los Angeles.

Yeah, that's him pushing an Escalade around as part of his off season workout.
I think his playing size/wt was about 6'4"/315 lbs.

(4,033 posts)He is 6' 7" and in college weighed 335, could bench press 350. I watched him in one game, just extend his arms (heck of a wing span) and knock down 2 defensive players at the same time.
He's out of school now and weighs about 280, which works on his frame.
