The offensive linemen and the running backs completed the bench press on Thursday. For the backs, it doesn't appear like the drill would transfer exactly to the field, but for offensive linemen it does a little more. Linemen do use their legs for leverage, but they do need strength in the upper body to keep defenders away.
Arizona State interior lineman Christian Westerman was the top dog, pushing up 34 reps. A few others got up at least 30. Top prospect Laremy Tunsil chose not to do the bench. The lowest total belongs to Oklahoma State lineman Mila Kasitati, who managed only 12.
Here are the full results.
