But they're unlikely to change the "strength" test at the combine from the bench, because the bench is the test we have historical data for.  Of course, they could totally stop doing it.

Though I think things like "Fred Smoot's one rep" tell you something.

You can start gathering new data at some point.

Everything starts somewhere.

They could add a second test...maybe a 'country strong' test, and see how many bales of hay they could load on a truck in 2 minutes.  Or, in all seriousness, some other form of strength and endurance; something like maybe how far they can push a blocking sled of a certain weight, or some other activity, directly relate to football.

No way are prospects gonna go heavy on squat, power clean, deadlift, or a country strong test or any other test that exhausts their lower body before jumps, 40, and drills.

Is Gonzalez a top 10 pick after the combine? CB1 before Witherspoon? 
Banks having an excellent day as well. Hodges-Tomlinson is criminally underrated. 
Such a great CB class it's insane

Gonzalez has put up a great set of numbers, but his on field work has been arguably more impressive - he is so smooth.
