Toure is small, doesn't separate at an NFL level. He'll get a shot because he can work.

Stille 5.0 is devastating.

JoJo gonna get a real shot. He'll need to embrace special teams in the NFL to get his real shot.

Toure might separate an an NFL level.

At the very least, he won’t need to slow down, stop and camp out under every deep ball thrown his way at the next level like he did here.

Allen with 8 reps of 225…that’s gonna hurt.
I doubt it. For a guy as tall as him with arms as long as his, I don't think the bench is going to hurt him much if it all. He has video showing good blocking technique and success against pass rushers with NFL talent. The bench press is way over rated as far as gauging football strength.

I agree. Plus, with the length of his arms, that bar is in flight a lot farther than guys with normal wing spans.

I've often said, if the bench press had any relevance to football, the teams with all the 500# bench pressers would win all the time, and they don't.

The rap is his apparent inability to catch the low ball according to scouting reports.

I threw to HS kids and many could catch the basic passes, and I don't have a run for an arm, but the really low and high ones separated them out. I never threw to a kid that tall so going down for the low ball could be a challenge.

********.

Give me 2 Guards that can bench 500#s and we'll win a ton of games.

Will Shields was terrible at the bench and he didn't have long arms. What he did have was a low center of gravity, strong legs and hips. The rest is history.
