B.J. Raji tops the Fridge

The Bears lost the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, and in the process a Bears icon of the 1980s lost his status as the biggest man ever to score a playoff touchdown.
William “The Refrigerator” Perry used to hold the record for the heaviest player to score a touchdown in the postseason, having been listed at 335 pounds when he ran for a touchdown in Super Bowl XX.
But according to the Wall Street Journal, now that record belongs to Packers defensive tackle B.J. Raji, whose listed weight is 337 pounds, after Raji returned an interception for a touchdown for Green Bay on Sunday.
Raji isn’t the biggest man ever to score a touchdown in any NFL game, however. Defensive linemen Shaun Rogers and Sam Adams have both scored regular-season touchdowns, and both are listed at 350.
