Who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashioned Big Guy touchdown?
During Sunday’s Raiders-Buccaneers game, Oakland quarterback Derek Carr executed a nifty play-action fake before finding 340-pound offensive tackle Donald Penn for the touchdown. Love a good tackle-eligible touchdown.
With the touchdown, Penn tied Kevin Williams for the NFL’s all-time touchdown record by players weighing 300+ pounds, which is just a fantastic list. Hall-of-Famer Warren Sapp, former Chicago Bears defensive tackle William Perry, and former Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Sam Adams round out the top-five.
The 33-year-old’s physique wouldn’t suggest he’s an offensive dynamo, but by tying the NFL record in his weight class, don’t expect Sunday’s touchdown reception to be Penn’s last.
