ATLANTA (AP) — Trent Brown made a huge — no, massive — impression the first time he strolled through the door at New England’s facility and met his new teammates.
“Man, I thought Nate Solder was big,” Patriots center David Andrews said while shaking his head. “And then he walked into the room.”
Brown is a mammoth of a man, standing at 6-foot-8 and weighing in at a scale-tipping 380 pounds as the heaviest player in the NFL. It’s a distinction the Patriots left tackle carries around like a badge of pride.
Just ask his offensive linemates, who support — OK, endure — Brown having no qualms about roaming the locker room in all his bare, barrel-chested glory.
