USC's Kicker is a Monster

[seahawkscott19]

The USC kicker David Buehler benched 225lbs 25 times at the combine. That's better than 27 linemen including Oher (21 reps), and Eugene Monroe (23 reps), and more than Maualuga (23 reps) and Laurinaitis (22 reps). Linemen push people for a living, how do you get out benched by a kicker?

Please refer to my post in the Hawk Talk forum, in the Seahawks trade down thread...

This has nothing to do with how good at football these guys are. It's just amazing to me that a 226lb kicker can out lift 300lb guys who make a living based on their strength.

He basically lifted himself 25 times.

Stamina was the key for him getting that many. A lot of these lineman and linebackers are stronger than he is, but they don't have the stamina he does. So, he was able to do more, but they could probably out bench him if they went up over 300 pounds.

Some linemen can bench 700+ lbs

And today he reportedly failed a steroid test at the combine... I coulda told you that ROFL.
