A beloved subgenre of NFL touchdowns is the big man touchdown, and the Buccaneers just scored the biggest big man touchdown of all the big man touchdowns.
Defensive tackle Vita Vea is all of 6'4 and 347 pounds. He is a hefty boy. The Bucs decided to line him up in the backfield, seemingly to block for Jameis Winston, but Vea slipped right through the defense for an easy touchdown catch.
Vea is the biggest man to ever score a NFL touchdown, topping Jonathan Ogden who caught a touchown at a listed 345 lbs.
Vea is one of the heaviest players in the NFL this season, although there are a few others that could theoretically take the crown for biggest big man touchdown from him. Offensive tackle Trent Brown on the Raiders, at 380 lbs, is currently the league's heaviest player by a fairly wide margin.
We all love a big man touchdown, and Vea added two tackles and a sack to boot. The Bucs gotta throw it to him again in the next game.
