La'el Collins with 21 reps on the bench

Not terrible but toward the bottom of the pack. Miami's Ereck Flowers put up 37 for the best so far.

It's enough to where it shouldn't hurt him.

Bench means very little in football.
What can he powerclean?
What can he squat?
What is his vertical or 20 yd start split?
Give me an explosive/athletic OT over someone with pure strength any day.
I don't know whether La'el is that athletic OT but him throwing up 21 reps means very little.

I bet some of the people he pancaked this year (and there were lots) could put up more than 21 reps. So much more to OL play than BP reps.

It's the time of the year where we get to bash Moffitt, right?

Arm length is a bigger factor to his stock than 21 reps. He may end up at guard.

Bench press is nothing more than a dick-measuring contest. There have been players threw up 40-50 reps and still suck.
Even a long-snapper from Navy threw up 30 reps. Bench press is just for show.

That's weak. Needed to be at least mid twenties as a lineman. That's one of the questions they had about him was upper body strength. Hope GMs look at the tape more than the press numbers. Heard a while back that Moffet doesn't really like bench press. Probably why our guys always have poor numbers there come combine time. It's hard to not consistently bench, and then train for a month and expect those numbers to blow up all of a sudden.

I think the amount of bench pressing 225 all in a row is a bad gauge of strength. I bet his single rep max is right there with most top guys. It's not like he will have a play snapped every 1/2 second. Why not let them bench 300-350 and give them 20 seconds between each rep. Time how fast each rep is and judge which lineman's explosion slows down the most after 10-15 reps. I think that would be more accurate. Moffit trains for football explosiveness not how many reps in a row. Ask opposing DL if Collins wasn't one of the strongest OL they played against. Lol

I can press up a lot of weight and I'm weak as hell. Short arms.
Posted on 2/19/15 at 7:33 pm to NorthEndZone
I bet Erick Flowers will turn out to be poo poo in the league as well! Screw the BP. It's retarded

He plays pissed off. I watch pissed off. We'll do great things.
Posted on 2/19/15 at 8:57 pm to NorthEndZone
so let's forget everything that he did in the field because he not a professional bench presser
Posted on 2/19/15 at 9:26 pm to NorthEndZone
It's part of the protocol but let me assure you, that in the case of OL, the film of Collins destroying DL from the SEC, Big10, ACC, Big12 and Notre Dame the last 4 years is the proof in the puddin' the NFL is looking for. Winning the Jacobs Trophy as the best OL in the best conference in the history of College Football is more proof in the pudding. La'el will do just fine come draft time.

Who cares what he bench presses. The kid has "chest" and a hell of a lot of heart. He's a player you can trust to give it all he has on the field and off
