hosker Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 This kid wants to play for Bo, but Bo has yet to offer. It seems like a similar situation as Eddie Brown. Bo just may be waiting to see if anyone else is interested and if not hope for a walk-on. (doubt that will happen) Still, I feel he is a monster in the making. Anyone with 25 picks in two years, has to have an instinct for the ball. and good hands!! Quote Link to comment
robsker Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Maybe it means 185 done 12 times to equal a max bench of 270.... for a 170 pound man benching 185 pounds 12 times is actually pretty impressive. While there is no actual equation that is accurate, some do endeavor to equate reps at a certain weight to a theoretical max (not that there is any real value in such a thing). When I weighed 165 I was benching an actual max of 335 and could do ca. 16-18 reps of 185 (sometimes 20, depending on the day). So, if that is any indication, this kid doing 12 reps at 185 probably does equate to a likely max in the 270 range. If a kid at 170 pounds did do 270 12 times then he is a beast!

Touchdown Tommie Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Usually colleges and I think in the combine, they put 225 on and rep that out. That is what we did in college anyways. It is not a true one rep max, but it is close enough. I still hope this kid gets here. Good hands and good size out CB would be great! Quote Link to comment

Good hands and good size out CB would be great! 225 is the standard for colleges and NFL. 185 is the standard at high school testing facilities/combines. Quote Link to comment
Overland Park Husker Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Man I'd love to get this kid. Two 6'2" CB in the same recruiting class is huge. Quote Link to comment
DeathCultArmaggedon Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Man I'd love to get this kid. Two 6'2" CB in the same recruiting class is huge. The new prototype CBs of the future seem to be 6'2" and taller. Antonio Cromartie's success in the NFL has proven this. Quote Link to comment

If a kid at 170 pounds did do 270 12 times then he is a beast! that doesnt seem like that much... I could only do like 305 but I could do 205 15-16 times pretty easy(that was my warm up) Quote Link to comment

I taught a year of highschool(I was PE and had 3 lifting classes) before I started grad school. and I weighed about 10-15 pounds more. I wish I could say that now Quote Link to comment
gmoney88 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 More importantly, did you have 25 INTs on your resume? haha yeah no kidding! I think bench press is overrated anyway for the CB/WR position. I'd rather know how fast his shuttle time is or his verticle jump. Quote Link to comment

I was simply stating that for a 335 max(robs... not this kid) 16-18 reps of 185 doesnt seem right. If I had to guess 12 reps of 185 would give you about a mid 200's max. Quote Link to comment

While bench press is a good indicator for how successful a corner will be at man-to-man coverage, as it enables one to judge how good of a jam the corner will have at the line, I do agree that there are other, much more important measurables.
