In the small town of Selfoss, Iceland lives a giant. His name is Thor Bjornsson. He stands 6'9" and weighs 450 pounds.
He is the world's strongest man. He dead-lifted 1124 lbs.
He is a hero to one of my grandsons. Thor was in Game of Thrones.
About a week ago myself, my daughter and my two grandsons were in Selfoss. We were eating breakfast in a small place. We were chatting and I was not paying much attention. My back was near a wall and the bathrooms were close by. A guy came out of the bathroom. His back was towards me and he was within arms length away. I was looking at his back. I freaked out. He was the largest human being I have ever seen in my life. His back was the size of a half of a door with giant muscles. He was wearing shorts and his calves were all tattoos. His calves were the size of my thighs.
My grandson is almost fourteen. He is 5'10" and nearly 150 lbs. He is into weight lifting and he is really powerful for his age. He curls 35lb dumbbells. He saw Thor and lost it. He was shaking like a teenager would have in 1957 seeing Elvis.
So my daughter and Oliver went up to him and got his picture. He put his arm around Oliver and his hand was on Ollie's shoulder. It covered his whole shoulder like the paw of a grizzly bear.
So that photo will soon be posted on his bedroom wall soon. I will post the picture when my daughter shows me how.

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Imagine him across from Myles.
Or, anyone.
He began his athletic career as a professional basketball player in Iceland.

I won't mistake his size for the ability to play in the NFL. But I mean who knows. My guess would be that he wasn't that bulked up or weighed over 400 pounds when he was paying basketball.

No he was not but still he is also athletic.
If he had decided to be a football player one can only imagine.
I am telling you standing close to this guy is an experience. He is immense.

I would say with his athletic ability he could have been good at just about any sport he chose. But he trained and designed his body to do what he does. That would limit his ability in other areas. But my goodness his physical prowess and presence alone are amazing!
