Buccaneers offensive tackle Wirfs and Steelers defensive tackle Black faced each other Sunday with microphones capturing their reunion.
Black informed Wirfs during the game that he now weighs 370 pounds. Wirfs, who is listed at 340 pounds, remarked to the Bucs huddle that Black had "doubled in size" since their first meeting.
The two share an Iowa connection despite never playing together there. Wirfs completed his final season in 2019, earning first-team All-American honors and Big Ten lineman of the year recognition. Black arrived as a freshman in 2020, the year after Wirfs departed for the NFL.
Wirfs recalled visiting Iowa after his rookie season and encountering Black as a freshman. He said the younger player had not been nearly so large at that time. Wirfs also complimented Black's apparel at a recent Iowa game.
Both players have added weight since entering the league. Wirfs weighed 320 pounds at the 2020 combine, while Black registered 336 pounds at the 2025 combine.
