Ryon Bingham's Cornhusker conversion0
The man with massive arms and tree-trunk legs was finishing his second helping of barbecue ribs when his wife asked the question.
"Ryon, are you done eating?"

The Southern California sun was going down on the Binghams' backyard barbecue when the 6-foot-3, 300-pound defensive tackle for the San Diego Chargers returned to the grill for thirds.

"You can strip all the money I have made, everything I have, but I would still have my family and most importantly, God," the 29-year-old said. "It's wonderful to play in the NFL and make lots of money, but I would give it all up for my faith. Your faith is the most important thing, nothing else matters in life."
