David Jace Johnson and his Big Ol' Hands: A Prospective Eagle?
The new prospect for Philadelphia Eagles is only five-days old. Meet David Jace Johnson. His father is famous athlete Lane Johnson and has he has big ol' hands. At least his father proudly proclaims.
David Jace Johnson is no monster. His hands? Probably expected if you see his father, Lane Johnson. Philadelphia Eagles' No. 4 Overall Pick stands at 6 foot 5 and weighs 303 lbs. For someone who makes offensive tackles a living and a career, this is quite an advantage.
On Saturday, Lane Johnson's wife gave birth to a boy, David Jace Johnson. Johnson was so proud he took the time to post a picture on his twitter account. While people are in general, interested in babies from famous people, this time people ooohed and aaahed not only because of the baby's cuteness, but because of his big hands! Should the Eagles make a jump start by recruiting Johnson's baby?
Lane Johnson was so proud, it felt like he was literally gushing on the Eagles' site. "When he came out, I thought his hands were as big as mine," Johnson proclaimed at the Eagles' site. "I mean, they were huge. Because my wife, she's 5-11, my father-in-law's 6-6, my dad's 6-6, so there's no telling how big he's going to be when he gets growing. But yeah, he has huge hands."
If David does not become an athlete like his father, you can expect he'll churn out interesting and big things with his big ol' hands. Remember, his father used to tackle big and scary bears...not really.
