Going for 40 reps on bench!!! I really like Daylon and thought he performed admirably throughout his career. Wishing him a successful NFL career. Does he get 40 reps? Placing O/U at 36... Dodson at 32

He'll do as many reps as he wants. Mack = scrong.

He's gonna do just fine in the NFL. Pro Bowler in 3 years.

I did the opposite, I defended our player against scum like wtb that posted an attack against our player.

I wish they'd test them on squats.

The stories about his leg strength are crazy.

I have a feeling his combine and interviews are going to impress the hell outta the teams.

If he is really projected to go in the third round some NFL team is going to get an absolute steal.

I always thought it was strange that bench press was such a big deal in the combine. The bench is probably the most useless lift in all of weight training.

Seriously though, give em hell Daylon. Go make some big money.

Funny story. I was listening to sports radio leading up to the 2007 NBA draft and I remember Skip Bayless saying that Greg Oden was a better prospect than Kevin Durant because he had a better bench press than Durant. Durant apparently had a very bad bench press. Skip's argument, and I am not kidding here was that Durant's bench press number indicated that Durant's body would not stand up to the physical rigors of the NBA! I honestly didn't know who Skip Bayless was at the time but I remember thinking this guys is a complete idiot. Skip has only solidified my original opinion of him in the intervening years.

No way Dodson gets 36

Edit: Myles Garrett got 33 and most would consider him the stronger more athletically freaky one.

Dodson getting 25 would be good.

Once you get over 25 reps it really becomes a slow twitch rather than fast twitch measure. I wish the combine would test 1 rep maxes. I bet Mack would put up monster numbers, and it's probably more relevant than whether he can do 30 vs 40 reps at 225.

Imagine not doing squat max and then not doing a max bench is simply a safety deal. Guys would look at it like the rep of their life and potentially injure themselves in the process.

NFL teams probably just want them healthy more than anything since they have tape, etc.

He will move up to the second round once he runs a 4.8 40 at 320

The bigger indicators of athletic performance are front squats, hack squats, and vertical

I remember this too. Durant didn't do one rep BTW

He said in that article that his max was in the 450 range

I knew it was bad. I wonder how many Oden did? I'm sure everyone was impressed, meanwhile on the other side of the bench press his foot was held together with bailing wire.

I hope so. Honestly Daylon has so much raw talent he is going to play a long time in the NFL if he can stay healthy. I'm more worried about Dotson. The guy is a total stud but it's easy to slip out of the draft and wake up in Canada.

I also remember thinking at the time that Allen Iverson is one of the best pure NBA athletes of his generation and he has probably never done an bench press in his life.

Actually I bet AI has done bench... he was a really good high school quarterback. Legend has it probably one of the best ever in Virginia.

My favorite memory of Dotson was in the UK game. Dotson had to leave after a series because of an injury. I swear UK tore off three big runs while he was out (And they weren't doing anything before that). It was probably mostly coincidence, but I have never been so happy to see a guy run back out on the field than I was that night. Of course he stuck a guy immediately when he came back in the game.

He was a stud QB, but I would consider him a textbook example of a person being gifted by god with an incredible natural ability not a grinder who hung out in the gym.

Apparently Von didn't do well on the bench either. Lots of people made outlandish claims. We see how that turned out.
