Terrell Brown may be the largest football player you've ever seen

If the 6-11/390 measurements are accurate, Brown is without question the tallest football player I've ever heard of. He's also only a few donuts away from the mythical 400-pound mark, reportedly achieved by a handful of immobile heavyweights over the years – most notably Gilbert Brown, Leonard Davis and Terrence Cody – but never (to my knowledge) recorded on an official roster for posterity. Even if Brown eats his way to one-fifth of a ton (he's already listed in less reliable corners of the web as high as 410), he's unlikely to ever match the unofficial record for gridiron heft. That mark was established by former Wisconsin behemoth Aaron Gibson, who allegedly arrived in Madison weighing 435 pounds in 1995. Not that Brown can't get there, but he won't be on anyone's roster when he does. (Though I could conceivably see Brown, like Gibson, eventually requiring a custom-made helmet he has to carry around to each new team for his entire career, because no standard models will fit his head.)

George Allen wanted to get Andre the Giant for the Redskins way back when, IIRC.

Relative heights.

There was a guy who used to play for the KC Chiefs, mostly special teams, named Morris Stroud who was 6’10 and was placed underneath the goal posts on FG attempts. He would jump up on kicks that were barely going to make it and attempt to spike the ball away, which I think was legal then.
