Proof That Fat Men Can Jump [VIDEO]

People like to look at someone's body or even just their weight and make assumptions about them. They see a person that weighs 317 pounds and immediately assume that they must be an out-of-shape fatass. However, when they find out the fat ass in question is actually a professional football player--like Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson--they relax their stance a little. Yes, 317 pounds is still pretty hefty and offensive lineman is often a little on the hefty side. Okay--fat.

That does not mean they can't be incredible athlete anyway. I can remember watching a game many years ago when Troy Aikman threw an interception to a Saints linebacker in stride, heading towards the end zone. Cowboys lineman Larry Allen, who was fat, broke away from his defender at the line of scrimmage and chased him down before he could make it to the end zone. It was the end of the first half, so the interception didn't end up hurting the team.

Anway...so along those lines, I present to you another example of large and in charge athleticism--317-pound Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson throwing down a reverse dunk after a leg workout.

We may not look like the picture perfect image of an athlete, but that doesn't mean we can't be one.
