SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
RT Phil Loadholt, at 6-foot-8 and 343 pounds, is the biggest player on the Vikings and one of the biggest men in the NFL period. To put that into perspective, he weighs nearly twice as much as the smallest Vikings player. That would be CB Marcus Sherels, who is 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds.
