For 10 seasons the fridge brought the thunder to opponents all around the NFL. Perry entered the pop culture lexicon as a member of the infamous '85 Chicago Bears defense. Of course, he also played fullback in goal line and short yardage situations. Sometimes, he would block for Walter Payton, and occasionally, he would get the ball. The 320 pound sausage gut was an unstoppable force in these scenarios and even scored a touchdown in Chicago's Superbowl victory. His Superbowl ring size is the largest in history, and his playing weight later peaked out at 382 pounds, That's not bad for someone standing 6 feet 2 inches tall!Fridge obviously is a big fan of food and even has his own brand of barbecue sauce. Once, he competed as a celebrity contestant in Nathan's Famous hot dog eating competition. Perry recorded a few rap tunes, including a single with the Fat Boys entitled "Chillin' with the Refrigerator."According to an article posted in the sportsillustrated.cnn.com website archives, he proudly proclaimed, "I was born to be big, and I ain't disappointing nobody." Fridge wasn't just big, however, he was freakishly athletic. In his prime, he could dunk a basketball, run a 40 yard dash in 5.05 seconds, and bench press 465. The Fat Athlete Hall of Fame welcomes truly one of the most athletic fat men of all, the Refrigerator.
