I know bench press at the combine isn't gospel for performance, but I don't think he has the weight/strength to be a beast RT.
Just really hesitant to rely on Jonah Williams to be any good after picks like Ogbuehi, Fisher, and Price and talent evaluation that led to Hart, Redmond, and Johnson. It seems much safer to just assume he's going to be terrible.
The only Bengals OL who deserves to even have a job in 2020 is Trey Hopkins. That's it.
I just don't see them putting him at OT.
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.
