2015 NFL Combine results for RB bench press

Who are the strongest, weakest in the draft class?

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

With the NFL Combine continuing, the running backs did the bench press drill, attempting to complete as many reps of 225 pounds as they can.

Who was the best on Friday? That would be Hawaii running back Joey Iosefa, who got up 30 reps.

A guy who is on our site's "watch list" is Tyler Varga. He showed some strength, getting up 23 reps.

Who had the least? It might surprise you. USC's Javorius Allen, all 6-0 and 221 pounds of him, only got up 11 reps. Misouri's Marcus Murphy also only had 11, but he is 5-8, 193.
