It is in the John Randle 30 for 30 or “A football life.” It’s a really episode.

Actually, John Randall was always listed as 287 lbs.

His Wiki page says he weighed 241 coming out of college

That episode of A Football Life is my favorite. That was freaking genius of him to wear the chain.

"Listed" being the key word. He was never that big.
