NFL Bench Press Record

13th March
2009
written by David

March 13th,

The University of Michigan defensive tackle, Will Johnson (nicknamed Paul Bunyan) set a new NFL record by bench pressing the standard 225 lbs. an amazing 47 times!

I am very excited to see him succeed by helping himself out with a stellar performance at his pro day today.  He always has been a hard worker who possesses great character. And to think, Will wasn’t even invited to the NFL Combine….

He definitely made sure scouts know about him now!

If there was any question about him being drafted prior to today, I believe there is no longer any such doubt.

Attribute this victory not only to Johnson, but also to Michigan’s superior strength and conditioning coach Mike Barwis.

Way to go Will!

(NB: Johnson also ran 40-yard dash in 4.9 seconds)

About Me

It's pretty difficult to sum oneself up in a few short sentences. But I'll give it a shot. I am a huge Detroit Lions and Michigan football fan. You won't believe how much of a blast it is writing about the NFL Draft because it perfectly blends my passion for college and pro football.
It is my sincere hope that I am able to kindle within you a passion for the Draft by doing football analysis differently than any other Draft site on the internet.
