PHOTO: 337-pound Packers DT B.J. Raji can do a forward split
Green Bay Packers nose tackle B.J. Raji doesn't look like the most flexible guy. The 6-foot-2, 337-pound man, however, can do some pretty amazing things with his body.
Raji practices yoga and is able to do a decent forward split.
Via Ryan Wood of Press-Gazette Media:
Raji took up yoga after torn biceps robbed him of the entire 2014 season. The 29-year-old defensive lineman has bounced back and missed only one game this year (Week 6 vs. Chargers). He has 19 tackles (four for losses), two pass defenses and a half-sack.

As Raji gets older, the splits and stretches he does while practicing yoga will only help to keep him limber.
