The above link is a good page I found when I googled for his name and the word Wrestler.

Pretty amazing dude for his size. Very agile. Played foot ball in the NFL. HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!!!!

"Played foot ball in the NFL"

Really ? For who ?

There is a Chris Taylor that plays for the SF 49ers, but it's a totally different guy.

Who did wrestler Chris Taylor play for in the NFL when he was alive ? How long ?

Thanks.

Ok I looked into it a lil bit more and I can not confirm that he played in the NFL. I remember hearing a lot about him at one of the camps I wnet to when I was a kid and I could swear he also briefly played in the NFL. I used to study Wrestling like most kids do for school so I may have read that also.

He wrestled both in Freestyle and Greco in the 72 games. He lost in Greco by pin in the first round and bronzed in freestyle. I believe he died of heart failure.

He was the reason for the original weight limit in College. The weight limit was 285.

He was huge but he was very agile. I saw a picture of him shooting a single leg on Gable once. I do know that Gable mostly worked with Chris during team work outs.

What about you Darren, anything to add?

I never heard of him playing in the NFL. I doubt that he did since Aaron Gibson (current Chicago Bear) is credited with being the first player listed as 400 pounds in the NFL. And if you remember correctly the Fridge was "only" about 335 when he came into the league and was considered freakishly huge for then (1984).

I think Taylor died when he was 28. Prior to 30 for sure.
