The word massive gets thrown around a lot when it comes to the sport of pro football.
But it isn’t any sort of exaggeration when it comes to the Cincinnati Bengals.
In the wake of the Bengals signing Trent Brown in free agency to play right tackle, alongside left tackle Orlando Brown Jr., he forms one of the biggest — literally — tackle tandems in the NFL.
How big? Orlando Brown checks in at 6’8″ and 345 pounds. Trent Brown is even bigger at 6’8″ and 370 pounds.
Give or take a few, too, given how reported weights can vary over the course of one’s career or even time of year.
It’s all in an effort to get even bigger and more athletic in front of Joe Burrow, of course. Given the sheer numbers, call it mission accomplished:
