I really doubt that Shaq has 2% body fat. Very few people do, almost no heathy people, and Shaq doesn't seem particuarly lean for an athlete. At times he has packed on too much weight, and even at his thinest I doubt he was that low.
I googled a bit and found
"O'Neal's body isn't as cut as he'd like it to be, and friends say that what he really wants is a six-pack stomach, but he takes pride in his solid muscularity. At one point while we were talking, he rose from his chair, hoisted up his yellow No. 34 jersey, and invited me to pinch his fat. A brief investigation revealed that there wasn't any fat to pinch—though there was an acreage of belly, tattooed just above the navel with "LIL Warrior"; and, glinting on the higher reaches of his torso, a gold bar piercing a nipple. "Sixteen per cent body fat, baby," O'Neal said."

I imagine Brown had a much lower body fat percentge than Shaq.
Since people where asking about how large he was I looked it up. I found his information from Syracuse not from his NFL days. He was offically 6' 2" 212 lbs. Figure the same weight and a few more pounds in the NFL.

Not exactly huge but the average player was smaller back then and he was strong for his size, and had good balance so he was hard to bring down. |
