Quote:I don't disagree that it is a poor indicator, but it is an indicator, nonetheless. When you see Fowler shirtless you see a lot of soft. Game tape shows him getting overpowered by tackles. The bench press in this case reaffirms the eye test.


Another thing that I take from bench press, and it doesn't seem true in Fowler's case whatsoever, is that bench press usually is a good barometer for how hard an athlete works. Most of your loafers put up poor bench numbers.
