Purdue center Isaac Haas is arguably the most physically intimidating presence in the 2018 NCAA Tournament, and you might be even more impressed by his stature when you hear the amount of food the senior has put back in one sitting.

Haas is currently listed at 7-foot-2, 290 pounds. During the CBS broadcast of Purdue’s game against Cal State Fullerton on Friday, Ian Eagle said the big man weighed well over 300 pounds at one point and was known to eat 40 chicken strips at a time.

If you need evidence of how strong Haas is, just look at the way he almost ripped a jersey off an opponent’s back during Friday’s game. Apparently that is the strength of a chicken finger-eating legend.
