Comments on: Ohio State’s Adams underwhelming at Combine http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/25/ohio-states-adams-underwhelming-at-combine/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Thu, 20 Jun 2013 03:05:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: mackie66 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/25/ohio-states-adams-underwhelming-at-combine/#comment-1594307 Sun, 26 Feb 2012 17:09:49 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=303742#comment-1594307 Well, by God, youve heard it here first. Mayjock doesnt think much of Adams 19 reps of 225. Yo Mayjock, Adams could have done 30 reps, plus torn his pec. And folks like Floooro wonder why these linemen lift at the Combine? Bench pressing 225 over 15 reps is asking for trouble. Theres no reason to bench press 225. The weight should be dropped to 200lbs just for injurys sake. Wonder how many times Mayjock can press 225, maybe a pressed ham?

His arms were still sore from a recent batch of free tattoos.

Tony Mandarich, Mike Williams anyone? They were each workout warriors and see how they turned out. I don’t put much stock into the combine anyway (see tom Brady). I am concerned about the discipline issues in college more than the bench press. If he has talent, you draft him and get him in the gym with a strength coach.

Talk about apples and oranges lol. You’re comparing the reps of a WR and a QB to a “LT prospect”? There are DBs that can do as many reps as Adams. I’m not saying he’s a bum, but I am saying I question his work ethic having been suspended TWICE in college and whatever he was doing during those time periods OBVIOUSLY had little to nothing to do with a weight room

The two people I am comparing them to ARE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN. Tony Mandarich was the number 2 overall pick at left Tackle by the GreenBay Packers and Mike Williams was also an offensive tackle drafted in the top 5 by #4 by the Buffalo Bills. Comparing offensive lineman to wr and cb’s is ridiculous that you would assume that. I will better clarify my players in the future so that people don’t make assumptions.

HGH testing may change all of this but for right now, this guy is a steal in the early second round!

Gets drafted in the 7th round, works hard to prove everybody wrong and becomes a pro bowler and they do a movie about him.
Or, drafted in second round and proves to stink up the place. Do I smell bust here???????

Konz only did 18. How much is that going to change his stock?

Silly. The only thing bench pressing shows is how well you bench press.

Lions, please draft Molk. Stronger, smarter, better person in general and available in a later round.

MI > OSU

———-Molk plays center, not LT. Why are we comparing apples to oranges? In any event, I’d rather watch film and see how well he drives in the run game, and whether he can stand up to the bull rush. There are no bench presses between the white lines.

You can’t expect a taller leaner lineman with a giant wingspan to pump out 30+reps bench pressing. That being said his est. 1RM is still around 400lb. which is respectable.

I’ll take a tackle with a long wing span that can create better separation, than a barrel chested alligator armed lineman that can rep 225-50 times. They tend to not be very effective in their real job which is playing football.

Definitely take him off your draft board.
