They had a whiteboard in their weight room that listed all the player's max bench press. The lowest was a sophomore kicker at 285 lbs.

I remember talk about Brunell's bench press. I remember it being stated as 400 or more. They said it was the highest of any QB in the NFL.

That feels like a fake whiteboard to impress High School kids and make them work harder

Take for instance Christian McCaffery. He repped 10 on the bench at the combine which is 225lbs. A 1RM calculator puts that around 300lbs. For a BEAST of a running back. I maxed at 365 before my daughter was born and I lost consistency at the gym. And even at my strongest, McCaffery would have eaten my lunch if I tried to take him on. These numbers don't always equate to much on the field.
