Sebastian Jankowski was an NFL kicker listed at 6'1" and 260 lbs. While not much taller than average he was 65 lbs heavier.
Also while there have been a handful of 5'6" or under NFL players, I love the fact that the Eagles have had two of them in the last 5 years. Darren Sproles and Boston Scott.
*Janikowski. You mistyped and left out the "i".
My favorite NFL kicker. He absolutely had the leg to break the NFL record for farthest field goal for a while, but the few chances in a game he was given to do it, he didn't quite manage. Still makes me sad to this day.
Guy went 18 years as an NFL kicker. That's crazy! The average career for a kicker is only 5 years. Not the longest career kicker (Morten Anderson with an ungodly 25 seasons) but still much longer than most.
When he was in college, him and some teammates snuck out of their hotel in New Orleans to party. Everyone else got suspended and they asked Bobby Bowden why Janikowski wasn’t suspended and he said, “I like him; we have an ‘international rule.’”
