17 really isn't bad, but Julio getting outlifted by AJ is shocking

Yeah, the low number isnt the shocking part, its the fact that AJ did more. Not sure what AJ's reach is though, but Julio has the arm length of a boxer, and that hurts benchpress ability way more than you would think.

Anyone know what AJ's reach is compared to Julio?

well, AJ Green is pretty long and thin so I would guess he has fairly long arms. The high jump will probably be a good indication of how long the arms are.

No doubt it is, Julio looks so much more cut/muscular than AJ. It's a headscratcher for sure, IMO. But that will make AJ that much more appealing ... really not sure who'd I take between the two..

Good thing bench reps are almost irrelevant when evaluating WR's.

I disagree, with as much as Julio stays in the weight room, even so much they told him to stop, 17 is no good.

Next thing you know, Darvin Adams puts up like 25...

Disagree, shows how much they frequent the weight room. The falls under commitment to excellence and staying in condition. It also determines endurance.

If Julio falls in the draft, it won't be because AJ Green had one more bench rep than him.

If you look at Julio. I think you'd know he works out a lot. On the other hand though. As much as he is hurt. I'm sure he didn't lift a ton.

Broken Hand, broken collarbones, hernia.

Never said that was the case, but when everyone(Fans, Scouts, and Julio himself)expects him to finish better than 13th best in the bench, it does effect his stock.

AJ Green and Julio Jones have went toe to toe in every THING since HS.

It wouldn't surprise me if AJ Green went after Julio Jones' lifted.

I mean both are badass receivers. I'd probably give the nod to Green as a better receiver but Julio is a better all around player.
