Nate Newton was so big that he was called the “Kitchen," in reference to the fact that he was a more massive player than William "The Refrigerator" Perry. Newton went undrafted out of Florida A&M but found a home in the USFL, where he played two years with the Tampa Bay Bandits and earned All-USFL Honors.
Now a seasoned professional, Newton signed with the Dallas Cowboys but continued to struggle with his weight. In his 30s, Newton was at his best, going to six Pro Bowls and earning two First Team All-Pro selections, and he was a large (literally) part of the superb O-Line that helped Emmitt Smith rush his way to the Hall of Fame. Big Nate would win three Super Bowl Rings with the Cowboys, and we are guessing that his ring size may have been the largest one ever created.
