Did anyone see Warren Sapp's comments about the bench press. He said he did 16 at his combine and some OL did 43. Then he said tell him to meet me on the 50 yd line and see who would win. Then one of the other guys said " who did 43 reps?" He said "exactly" That was classic SAPP

Great story...

A lot of haters in this thread. He has been training with PP. That doesn't mean they have been bench pressing 225 pounds. He's probably been working on technique and footwork. Bench doesn't mean shite, he has plenty of film to prove it.

it does matter when pushing and shoving are a part of the game in the NFL

Pushing is done through the legs and hips, not with your arms/chest. When is the last time someone stood perfectly still, erect (ie: no knee bend), and pushed using only his arms in the NFL? Never...and thats all that the BP tests when it comes to "pushing".

The Bench Press at the Combine is a very poor test of "strength". I guess you could say that it tests work ethic to some regard, but for the most part it really is a piss-poor indicator of anything.
