I think he managed a Domino's here in Hoptown back in the late 80s-early 90s. RIP Mount Vernon...

Re: The great Vernon Broadnax passed away.
Interesting tidbit....
Vernon was listed in one of the Ripley's Believe It or Not issues as being the largest collegiate football player.
In 2015, John Krahn was a high school senior that was 7' and 440. Not sure what happened with him but here's an article on him...
