Pittsburgh Steelers second-year nose tackle Yahya Black revealed in a hilarious interaction with Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Trisan Wirfs that he weighs 370 pounds.
"What they got you weighing at?" Black asked Wirfs during Sunday's game, via NFL Films.
Wirfs responded, "340." He then asked Black his weight.
"370," Black said.
"I knew it," Wirfs responded. "You look f***ing huge… No, I mean you look great, you look like an absolute unit."
Black thanked Wirfs for the kind words. "Thank you. I try."
Black is listed at 6-foot-5, 330 pounds on the team's website .
Wirfs and Black both went to Iowa but at different times. Black started his career at Iowa in 2020, the same year that Wirfs was drafted by the Bucs in the first round. Wirfs remembers seeing Black in the Iowa weight room, though.
"When I went back to train after my rookie year, he was like a freshman or something. He was not that big," Wirfs was telling his Bucs teammates in the huddle.
"You look huge."
"Thank you."

Black, a fifth-round pick by the Steelers in 2025, moved to nose tackle this summer.
He showcased a bit of the disruption he can provide as a rookie while recording 28 tackles, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one pass defended.
Through six games this season, Black has recorded 15 total tackles (5 solos) and one sack.
Steelers defensive line coach Domata Peko , a 15-year NFL veteran who made his living battling in the trenches, gave Black a massive endorsement this offseason.
"Black can be one of the best noses in the game if he just keeps on doing what he's been doing, and us working his butt off," Peko said. "Really good on his technique and his details. I just want to sharpen him up and get him really going, and try to bring out the best in him."
