NFL Rankings: The Top 10 Worst-Fitting Uniforms in History

For the average NFL fan, there is nothing more funny and entertaining than watching some big lineman roll around the trenches with their jerseys hanging above their spare tires.

Not to make fun of the guys, but you have to admit that it is incredibly hilarious to watch these guys huff and puff their way back to the sideline, heading straight to the oxygen mask.

On a more serious note, though, these big guys are paid professionals who are often extremely good at what they do and many linemen, especially on defense, can make game-changing plays for their teams.

They are not just out there to roll around in the mud for our entertainment; they're behemoth-sized brick walls who alter the course of the game like a giant planet would alter the course of a comet.

I still think they look really funny, though.

Here’s a list of the Top 10 ill-fitting uniforms and the fatties who filled them in the NFL.

The memories I have of Sam Adams are as a Buffalo Bill, but he has made his way around the league in the latter stages of his career.

What makes Adams so appealing is that his only sole purpose on the field is to take up a ton of space.

Yup, he was paid millions of dollars to be incredibly fat.

God Bless America.

Take one look at this man in his jersey and tell me how I could not put him on the list!

The funniest part about these big guys and their jerseys is that they are forced to tuck them in, which leads to the pooch-hanging-to-your-knees look.

I’ve heard it’s the next big look in Paris.

8. Shaun Rogers

When Shaun Rogers is not busy making it rain in the clubs he is apparently also not busy working on his abs.

The sad thing about Rodgers is that he had the potential to be an dominant big man in the league, but his issues on and off the field really hindered him.

That being said, I still hold tightly to the memory of watching him score a defensive touchdown as a Lion and subsequently go into cardiac arrest in the end zone.

7. Gilbert Brown

Gilbert Brown is another one of my favorite big fellas, and truthfully it may be more because of his epic celebrations than actual play on the field.

Brown was known for doing the "grave digger” every time that he made a big play or got a sack.

Imaging being a young kid and watching this behemoth dig a grave after planting some poor quarterback’s face into the ground.

So good.

6. Andy Reid

Is this cheating?

Truth be told, I’m not sure.

The fact remains that Andy Reid is one of the biggest men to ever grace the sidelines of an NFL field, so I feel obligated to put him on this list.

From everything I hear, he is a great guy, so this is in no way a dig against him.

Could this perhaps be a little distasteful?

Sure.

Do I care?

No.

5. Pat Williams

Pat and Kevin Williams have been like the NFL’s version of the Mario Bros. for the better part of the past decade.

That is if Mario and Luigi went on a two-year bender at the local Holiday Inn breakfast buffet.

Even so, Pat Williams has to take the cake as the favorite of the two.

You see what I did there?

Take the cake?

4. JaMarcus Russell

I’m so sorry. I just had to do this.

Russell is not as big as most of the guys on this list but he was insanely huge for a quarterback, and some do say that he ate his way out of the NFL.

It was either that or chugging all of that cough syrup.

Disappointing would be an understatement when talking about the career of JaMarcus Russell.

3. B.J. Raji

CHICAGO, IL - JANUARY 23: B.J. Raji #90 of the Green Bay Packers reacts after scoring on a 18-yard interception return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Chicago Bears in the NFC Championship Game at Soldier Field on January 23, 2011 in Ch

One of the best sights I have ever seen in my life was watching B.J. Raji run back a pick during the Packers' incredible Super Bowl run last season.

There could be nothing greater in the world than watching a very big man awkwardly rumble his way into the end zone.

You know he’s been dreaming about that since he was a little boy, shoveling cake down his throat.

It’s a beautiful thing.

2. Warren Sapp

Sapp’s career really fizzled out once he went to Oakland, but really, who didn’t see that one coming?

Some people forget that he was one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL at one point, though.

Warren Sapp had a knack for making plays and running his mouth, which makes him one of the best players to have on this list.

1. William Perry

William “The Fridge” Perry is perhaps the best big boy that the NFL has ever seen.

Not only was he a brick wall on the defensive line, he was also used as a battering ram for the offense on the goal line.

Honestly, what defender in their right mind would even consider getting in front of the Fridge once he picked up even just a little bit of momentum?

Think of the opening scene in Indiana Jones the Temple of Doom for an appropriate visual of what that would be like.
