Brian Blados (born January 11, 1962) is an American former professional football player who was an offensive guard and offensive tackle for nine seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the Bengals in the first round of the 1984 NFL draft.[1] He attended Washington-Lee High School. His high school teammates called him "Mutton Head" because his head was "as big as a lamb and full of wool." Blados was the first 300lb offensive lineman to start in the NFL and played nine seasons, mostly with the Cincinnati Bengals, and was an integral part of the team that reached Super Bowl XXIII. Blados currently resides in the Cincinnati area.
