To TR's credit, they had to stop him from going too heavy on his major lifts.
Who knows what he could really do. The guy is ridiculous. His legs are beyond huge.
Well, Cochran learned under Moffitt so I wouldn't be shocked to learn that Ford is limited too.
Trents legs are frickin massive though. If for whatever reason his NFL career doesn't work out, he would legitimately have a future in professional bodybuilding

Here is an article on the strongest college football players. Ford is on here too at #9.
LINK
3) Trent Richardson
RB, Alabama Crimson Tide
5’11, 220 lbs.
Junior
Standing at only 220 pounds, Richardson bench presses 475 pounds, squats 600 pounds and power cleans over 365 pounds, in addition to a 4.4 second 40 yard dash. Richardson is so strong that his strength and conditioning coach will not let him go heavier than that for fear of injury, saying "The last thing I need to do is mess this kid up", indicating that we'll never know his true one rep max. Richardson knows what it takes to get strong as he was the state of Florida’s weightlifting champion back in high school. Richardson is a true athletic and strength prodigy and is probably pound for pound the nation’s strongest player. The junior running back looks to savor the load this year for Alabama’s high-powered offense, looking to mimic the Heisman Trophy play of ex-teammate Mark Ingram.

if Ford is really 202 lbs and is posting those numbers.. he may be more freakish than Trent

So, he rag-dolled a 180-lb back? Wow, I guess...

9) Michael Ford
RB, LSU Tigers
5’10, 202 lbs.
Sophomore
At just over 200 lbs., Ford gives Trent Richardson a run for his money as the nation’s pound for pound strongest player. Ford benches 425 pounds, power cleans 352 pounds, and squats 510 pounds, all while doing a 42 inch vertical. Tigers strength coach Tommy Moffitt, who had worked at Miami, believes that Ford reminds him of former Hurricanes star Andre Johnson in the weight room. Ford looks to compete for the starting running back position heading into this season.
LSU #3 TB as of now. LSU using 5 TB's
WOW!!!

Ford benches mid-upper 400s, squats mid-upper 500s, and cleans upper 300s (probably near the 375 range). vertical jump of 42 inches. 40 yard dash hand timed.
at 215 lbs.
So, he runs smaller than he is???

No, I mean fo being this weight room freak at 215 lbs, that is every bit the equal of TR you'd think he'd have a huge body count of players he's trucked. If you asked the casual football fan whom the premier power back in the country is, Trent's the first name that pops up.
So, one of two things: He's either not the physical specimen Trent is, or he runs softer than his physical make-up would indicate.

I got ya!
No doubt.
He trucks his share, he is not getting the reps that TR or SW are getting, however he is in the mix and could break out at any time. He had some nice runs vs Aub.

If both collide, Trent would have to get lower than him or he'd get smashed

The better question is for the Bammy Bamms:
Who YOU Got!? Any of your LBs or a 280lb JC Copeland followed closesly by a 240lb Kenny Hilliard!
