When Brendan Mahon was in high school, he was a heck of a lot bigger than the other kids.
His football teammates gave him a ton of grief because despite his size, he couldn’t grow a speck of facial hair when the rest of the players participated in “No Shave November.” Even the youngest on the team managed some patches of peach fuzz, but there was Mahon, bigger and wider than the rest of them, cheeks as smooth as a baby’s.
So his teammates nicknamed him “Big Baby,” and that stuck throughout his years in college at Penn State.
