Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson is 198cm and weighs around 137 kgs. Johnson’s wife, Chelsea, who just gave birth to a son, David, is 180cm.
So it’s safe to assume that little David will grow up to be big. Really big.
Johnson, the fourth overall pick of the 2013 NFL draft, tweeted a photo of the little (er, big) guy. And wait until you get a load of this kid’s hands — these things are oven mitts.
The baby’s hands are so big that Lane (who, remember, is just shy of two metres tall) said that when David was born he thought the little guy’s pair matched up with his. David was born Saturday, which means he is no older than three days in the photo on the Twitter post.
For reference, this is how big Lane’s hands are:
“When he came out, I thought his hands were as big as mine,” Johnson said. “I mean, they were huge. Because my wife, she’s 5-11, my father-in-law’s 6-6, my dad’s 6-6, so there’s no telling how big he’s going to be when he gets growing. But yeah, he has huge hands.”
No word on whether David has received a scholarship offer from Alabama.
