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.

Yep. If they cared about measuring actual strength, they'd develop a squat or even a clean test.

But those aren't logistically favorable like the bench press. And it could potentially impact running drills.

EXACTLY. Show me a deadlift, clean, or squat. Better yet, show me the film where the frickin guy has been awesome on the field.

name two.

throwing up 50 may have happened at some weight lifters competition, but a football player good enough to be at the combine?
