We may want them to, but chances are guys like Price hurt their stock and cost themselves more money/guaranteed money than they do by making themselves money. You’re not wrong and I’m not necessarily disagreeing, but in this case he hurt it on the first rep of a bench press. Maybe he strained it because he was nervous, rushing, over training, or something else that wouldn’t have occurred if he wasn’t at the combine - but it’s a pretty routine thing to be doing, especially in a sport that predicates explosion. I get wanting to be safe and getting the money, but you still need to train. If he tore a hamstring at an individual practice with a team or tore a pectoral just strength training, I doubt we’d be entertaining that maybe guys don’t need to be doing them. I do agree that prospects that don’t have perceived physical limitations to deter, don’t have a ton to gain. But coming to the combine and having very good workouts doesn’t hurt a guy’s stock and IMO the upside is worth the possible injuries given that most of the movements are ones that they’ve been doing for years.

VanS Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 How wild would be it be if Saquon Barkley ran sub-4.35 in the 40 tomorrow? I personally wouldn't be shocked. He's gonna put on a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown's long arms do make it harder to do well - but 14 is really low, most long-armed guys get to the 20's IIRC. Given he's more likely to be a RT and not a LT, even though the premium on RT is rising, if other T's test well and his other drills fail to impress, no doubt he falls. Given his size, this could be a significant Combine-related draft fall. Seemed like a lock for top 25 pick b4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reamer Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Just a reminder, but bench press has the lowest correlation to NFL success of any of the Combine tests. I'll see if I can dig up the study I read last year. The point is, though, that the strength and movement required for the NFL doesn't necessarily match the ability to throw up some weight x+ number of times. You don't want to see someone who doesn't spend time in the weight room, sure, but overall it's just not a concern. Don't downgrade guys just because of low reps.

Not that I hold the bench press in high esteem or anything, but curious whether or not that correlation is the same for linemen as it would be for prospects as a whole. On the whole, I could definitely see the bench having little to no value for most of the positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, once you get to the 20-30 range, you probably have no correlation. I'd like to see the OL with 19 reps or less and how they fared in the NFL. As noted a lot of long guys get to 20+, Stanley had 24, Solder who most consider a finesse OL got 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
