William Perry

William Perry, nicknamed the Refrigerator, is a former American professional football defensive tackle born on December 16, 1962 in Aiken, South Carolina. He played college football for the Clemson Tigers, was part of their 1981 national championship team, and won the ACC Player of the Year award and first-team All-American honors in 1984. The Chicago Bears chose him in the first round of the 1985 NFL draft, and he spent nine seasons with them before finishing with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1993, for ten NFL seasons in all. As a rookie he was part of the Bears team that won Super Bowl XX, where he occasionally lined up at fullback near the goal line and scored a touchdown at 335 pounds, the heaviest player to do so in a Super Bowl. He is also known for wearing the largest Super Bowl ring on record.
