Paea's strength isn't too much of a surprise. His 49 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press at the 2011 NFL combine remains a record.

The 6-foot-1, 300-pound Paea, a second-round pick (53rd) of the Chicago Bears in the 2011 NFL draff, signed with Washington in 2015 after spending his first four seasons with the Bears.
