Sims the biggest kid on the field

Posted Jul 23, 2007

The 200 kids each wore the same uniform -- a red T-shirt with the No. 90 and "Sims" on the back -- as they listened intently to the various coaches before turning the words into actions. With his baseball cap turned backwards, sweat-soaked T-shirt, and broad smile etched across his face, the only thing separating the host of the festivities from the participants was his impressive size. Otherwise, Tampa Bay defensive lineman Ryan Sims was just the biggest kid on the field. (Spartanburg Herald-Journal)
