Rutgers coach Chris Ash on Yankees' slugger Aaron Judge: 'I see him as a left tackle'

In addition to starring on the baseball field and on the basketball court, Aaron Judge was a standout football player at Linden High in Sacramento, Calif., totaling 86 catches for 1,405 yards and 21 touchdowns during his junior and senior campaigns.

While measuring 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds at the time, Judge was recruited to play wide receiver or tight end by several major college football programs, including UCLA, Stanford and Notre Dame, according to The Washington Post.

These days, the record-breaking pass catcher has put on considerable muscle to his 6-7 frame, tipping the scales at 282 pounds.
