John Broward "Brad" Culpepper (born May 8, 1969 in Tallahassee, Florida) is a former American football defensive tackle in the National Football League.
NFL career
Culpepper was a 10th round selection (264th overall pick) in the 1992 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings out of the University of Florida. He would play for Vikings (1992-1993)[1], the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1994-1999)[2], and the Chicago Bears (2000)[3].
Post-NFL
Culpepper is now a lawyer for the Culpepper Kurland law firm[4]. Since his retirement, Culpepper has spoken out about his concerns about the increasing size of NFL players; he believes that the increasing number of 300-pound players is "unnatural and unsafe" and has lead to many serious health problems. During his playing career, Culpepper artificially inflated his weight to 280 pounds; once he retired, he lost almost 100 pounds. [5]
