Strongest guy at the position has nothing to do with the bench press.  Many of us have argued for years that different tests should be implemented to determine strength.  Training for a reps contest in bench press is not akin to doing track workouts to train for the 40.  Both are false measurables.  They do not determine a man's strength in game action, nor a man's speed in game action.  Pretty much worthless.  More times than not, they benefit guys that are not good football players more than they get unknown good football players to rise to the top.
