re: Bench Press for Tackles - I listen to a lot of podcasts and this one particular trainer trains lineman a lot and with their arms so long...some can only bench in the 300 lb range and it's really not a big deal. There are so many more performance indicators other than bench press.
Interestingly Hopkins is a free agent. It will be interesting to see if some team offers him a large contract.
Which is why it is an issue for Jonah Williams when he didn't do well on the Bench. Straight from his NFL Draft Profile...
Weaknesses
- Some concerns by evaluators regarding lack of arm length
As I said, I recognize that it's not the only indication of success, but between it and their OL talent evaluation in the franchise the last half-decade, it is not inspiring confidence that Williams will come in and be some saving grace for the OL in 2020.
