In the day-and-age of bigger is better, there’s King High School‘s (Riverside, California) John “Junior” Krahn.  The 17-year old senior stands 7-feet tall and weighs over 400 pounds — officially Krahn weights 440-pounds.

KCAL-TV recently profiled Krahn, who his mom said, “can’t go to Disneyland, because he can’t fit on any rides.”

Krahn, who plays nose guard on defense and is an offensive lineman, has had to sit-out two games this season, because he was ejected from two games after getting in altercations.

So far, Krahn hasn’t recorded any tackles, according to the team’s MaxPreps.com statistics.
