At the NFL Combine, a rare event where many head coaches and general managers gather, an interesting question surfaced among them: which head coach would be able to perform the most bench press reps? For context, NFL draft prospects must bench press 225 pounds as many times as possible during the combine.
Dan Campbell, the head coach of the Detroit Lions, is known for his physical presence, having played tight end in the NFL for 11 seasons. Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing 265 pounds, Campbell is a formidable figure, and it’s no surprise that many of his peers pointed to him as the favorite for this challenge.
