Tigerhawkeye has it right. Not to mention the all time leaders in the bench press generally don’t make it far in the nfl. A great exercise but doesn’t usually translate to production

I think Pierre-Paul did 19 reps and he was 20 pounds heavier than Moore. Damontre has really long arms for his weight, 35″ I think. How come no one getting on Mingo or Jordan or Jones for their bench press? Those guys all did 0.

He is still real young. Plenty of time to lift weights and train when its your job. I see a talented Defensive player.

You can be the biggest baddest S.O.B. out there but if your guy gets lower than you your going for a ride.

the man is a rookie. Now that football is his full time job, he can hit the weight room and get stronger. non issue to me.

I’m pretty sure Damontre Moore is stronger than every punter in the NFL. He might not be a gym rat, but raw strength? Definitely.

12 reps at 225? I could do that coming out of college… and I was in the band!

I can actually bench that 19 times. I’ll be able to claim I am as strong as an NFL defensive lineman in a couple months.

Shut up! Give me my moment!

I’ve never understood the Combine’s obsession with the bench press. Short of being on your back at the bottom of a dogpile, I can’t think of a single situation in football that is replicated by the bench press. If you’re a lineman/FB, I want to see the ability to generate force with your legs, as exemplified by the squat or deadlift. If you’re a LB/CB/WR, I want to see that force exerted very quickly, as exemplified by the clean. But the horizontal press? The bench press only exists so that amateur lifters who don’t know any other lifts have something to boast about to their friends.

It is ok. Once he gets by the left tackle then he should have enough momentum to knock down the quarterback.

There may not be a weight bench, but there are alot of very strong offensive lineman who will put you on your keester.

Brute strength isn’t everything, but I sure would prefer my D-linemen be stronger than my punter.

Not totally impossible, I suppose, if he had a muscle pull that healed or if he’d cut a bunch of weight right before the combine for the weigh-in. But it certainly does make you wonder… Anybody else out there wishing they could see gains in the weight room that quickly?
