You may know Ser Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane as Cersei Lannister's 6-foot-9-inch, sword-wielding, champion on HBO's Game of Thrones. However, before he was making everyone in Westeros shake with fear, the 419-pound Clegane, who's real name is Thor Bjornsson, almost became a lineman for the Indianapolis Colts. According to a Tweet from Colts owner Jim Irsay last year, the Colts were very impressed with the physical stats of "The Icelander," and the professional weightlifter was most definitely on their radar. We bet Prince Oberyn wishes Irsay took a shot on Bjornsson.

Off/Def Lineman,so many 6-3 to 6-7..320-365 lbs/Big,Physical and Nasty! Speaking of size/strength..GM Grig's just might sign "The Icelander"
