Justice Hill participated in the bench press at the NFL Combine on Thursday in Indianapolis, and he pumped out 21 reps of 225 lbs. That’s exactly 13 more than his former coach at Oklahoma State (who we’ll get to in a second) did.
Hill’s 21 reps ranked in the top 10 of all running backs who participated, although he finished third out of Big 12 players. Alex Barnes put up 34 (which would have ranked second out of the offensive linemen who also benched on Thursday), and Rodney Anderson did 25 of his own.
It’s a good number for Hill, although his more impressive numbers will likely come on Friday when he runs what will be a very intriguing 40-yard dash.
