A Football Giant

The former Georgia Tech defensive tackle, T.J. Barnes, weighs 364 lbs and stands at 6’7″. That makes him bigger than most players in a league that already includes some of the biggest humans in the world. Barnes is so big when he joined the NFL that some teams didn’t take him because they feared that he was too big.

Barnes went to Enterprise High School in Alabama. He was rated as the 48th-best offensive tackle prospect nationally by Rivals.com and also was ranked by Rivals.com as the 18th-best prep prospect in the state of Alabama. That’s pretty impressive for elementary school years. He went on to playing college football at Georgia Tech. He then went on to sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
