Watch: 410-pound LaQuan McGowan plays tight end for Baylor

Watch 410-pound LaQuan McGowan practice at tight end for Baylor.

Remember 410-pound LaQuan McGowan, Baylor's reserve offensive guard who caught an 18-yard touchdown pass as a tight end in the Cotton Bowl vs. Michigan State?

Baylor coach Art Briles said earlier this month that McGowan, a 6'7" redshirt senior, would play tight end or slot receiver during spring practices. And he wasn't kidding.

• Derek Jeter is just another dude at a sumo wrestling match

Imagine being the guy who has to try and take him down. Baylor just might've figured out its secret weapon for next season.
