Could we see a William refrigerator Perry 2.0 in Chicago?
William Perry is one of the most notable Chicago bears players ever. He was a fan favorite year in and year out who stood out for two things: his enormous size and his occasional ability to score goal-line touchdowns. It is hard to tell exactly how much he weighed but it is fair to say he was at the very least 350 pounds.
The Bears have a chance to draft potentially the player that is the closest to what the fridge was: Jordan Davis.
Davis is a defensive tackle out of the University of Georgia. He was a huge contributor to a National Championship team in Athens last season. He was so dominant that he even was in the conversation for the Heisman trophy award. He is such a big human being. Here are his measurements:
6'6"341 lbs10 3/4" hands34" arms81 1/8" wingspan
While his stats are not amazing, when you put on the game tape, he flashes. He is so versatile that he not only can stop the run at an all-time elite level, he can also rush the passer pretty well. I believe he will have to get in better shape so he can stay on the field for longer than 2-3 plays in a row, but the sky is the limit for this kid.
I think there is a chance he might fall into the end of the first round and maybe even the second round. Some experts have him going as late as the 45th pick in the upcoming draft.
The craziest thing about this superstar is his speed. He can fly around the field for a guy with this immense size. Check out this clip of him chasing down an opposing quarterback. That is some scary stuff.
