How big is Daniel McCullers, a massive defensive tackle from Tennessee who could be the largest person to ever wear a Steelers uniform?
General manager Kevin Colbert called him "gigantic ... an obstruction."
Former Tennessee player Charles Davis of the NFL Network said, "The earth moves when he walks."
Defensive line coach John Mitchell said it appeared there were two players in the middle of Tennessee's defensive line when he watched film of McCullers.
McCullers wears a size 54 jacket, size 18 shoes and, by his own admission, had to trim down from the 420 pounds he weighed as a senior at Southeast Raleigh High School in North Carolina.
"Growing up I was always the big kid," McCullers said. "Once I hit my sophomore and junior year of high school, that's when I started getting my growth spurts. I guess I got like four of them each year and just kept growing."
