Yikes. Only 17 reps and he weighs 329 lbs? Not great in my opinion. I think the bench press is a pretty important test for guys on either side of the line. You've got WRs and RBs putting up more reps than that.

I was always under the impression that RBs and LBs typically dominate the bench.

A d-lineman owns the record of 49. A former Beaver in fact. 17 is surprisingly weak. I wonder if there is an injury.

Both of these guys should have stayed in school.

Valentine graduated. And it's been rumored for years now starting with Mitchell getting on his case that he doesn't have a good work ethic. I find it unlikely he would have improved a great deal by waiting another year and his chances of being injured again and worse before making any $ would have increased.
People will take a strand of innuendo and run with it.
By the way, I don't think it was Mitchell who called Valentine out specifically. Bo did, as I recall, sort of like how he called out Suh.
Sometimes it takes some time to learn what effort is required at the college level, but by most all accounts (and the tape), VV worked his tail off these past two years.
All of that said, he had a very good combine and I think he made a good decision taking the money now.
