i would

have expected more from burke but especially campbell.   that isn’t near as strong as i thought

That is kinda what I was thinking. But I don't remember what their pressing. Is it 225 lbs? Is each position benchmarked (no pun intended)?

Look at ol’ Taaffe thinking two steps ahead with the extra chance to show off ball skills.

The issue with the way bench press is done for these workouts is its more of an endurance thing, and arm length plays a big factor shorter arms and proper technique means they can put up higher bench reps as well, so it's not a true test of displaying strength. Now if we knew there max in bench and squats we would have a better idea of their strength.

if your string you bench a lot,  if your string you put your hands on the defender and move them back.   long arms be damned strong is strong and burke,hutson and campbell numbers today don’t show stength.

Demarvion Overshown did 15 reps in 2023. Think our guys will be ok. 🤘

Exactly! That is why we have worked more on strength this off season. Everybody knew it and finally we pivoted to work on it. Some of those reps for Ol DL LB DE TE haven't been great at all in the past. Remember Saunders doing 9. About time Sark and Company recognized we need more strength period. Maybe Kirby's jab at us not being physical , or Muschamp seeing it as well.  Hopefully better going forward.

January 2021 -Sarkisian takes over 

2022 - 0 TX players drafted

2023 - 12 players drafted

2024 - 11 players drafted

2025 - 12 players drafted

We won’t have 12 this year but the number of bench press reps isn’t the reason. Don’t think Sark is too worried about bench press.
