21,000 CALORIES EATEN IN 42 MINUTES

Like many athletes, San Diego Chargers linebacker Brock Hekking has the ability to eat an enormous amount of food. We have video to prove it.The 6'3", 250-pound rookie—who is currently on injured reserve—recently sat down at Phil's BBQ in San Diego and showed just how much he can put down. It's impressive, to say the least.

Here's what was on the menu:

2 racks of beef ribs
2 racks of baby back ribs
1 whole chicken
2 pulled pork sandwiches
1 giant sausage
1 pound of mac and cheese
Large side of fries
Large onion rings
Bite of coleslaw
2 ears of corn
64-ounce Mountain Dew

That equates to more than 21,000 calories—which Hekking put down in less than an hour. Bleacher Report approached Jet Direction with this crazy idea, and right away we couldn't pass the opportunity to put this together. Even though their was a short-timeline, and we had to create the video during the middle of a busy lunch-hour, the Jet Direction team were onboard to get it done. Over a million views spread across different social platforms. Thousands and thousands of comments poured in or shared.
