Former Oregon Ducks star DeForest Buckner is a very large man. He was measured at the NFL Combine, and has already tied a league record of sorts.

That's right, at 11 and 3/4 inches Buckner ties with with Gosder Cherilus of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for largest hands on record. Several pundits have pointed out that is is the same height as a standard sheet of paper. No other defensive lineman at the combine had hands even cracking 11 inches.

Buckner is also 6-7 and 291 pounds. He's a potential top 5 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, and he's proud of those hands.

DeForest Buckner on his huge 11 3/4 hands: "Growing up my siblings would make fun of me for em.When I got here, I was shooting for that 12."
