...ran a 4.75 and benched 225 11x

weak and weak....the kid can play though

I think Brady Quinn was in the low 20's (bench)

Really surprised by the 11 reps.

Should I be?

I'm shocked by that. Not by the 40 time, of course

Motta is huge. Very strange, maybe a shoulder injury, or I hope so

The 11 reps surprised me as well. 4.75 sounds about right and any team that runs a cover 2 should take a hard look at him with that time.

I dont think either hurts him or helps him.

I wouldnt be as worried about the bench. Its certainly low, but some guys just are not strong with bench press. I dont think there is any doubting that Motta is jacked, but some people just arent built to be great bench pressers.

The 40 time is worrisome, especially since his 2nd time he ran a 4.78, which is really bad since no other S prospect ran in the 4.7s

You should be surprised.  It is not very good at all.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him drop out of the draft, get picked up as an UDFA, and then moved to OLB.

The kid has arms bigger than ppls legs. I'm shocked he tested so poorly

the BP is biased towards people with long arms, long bodies... Eifert did 22, OL/DL..... Brady Quinn, lol, tend to, or are expected to, get bigger numbers.

11 reps?!! I just did 3 sets of 15 reps of 225 at the gym yesterday and i am 36 years old. I thought he was Zeke the "Freak" maybe the freak was for other reasons..lol 11 reps is definitley weak!

ummmmm ya, that's not true. BP actually favors people with shorter arms.

I don't buy that. Bench press is a reflection of your work ethics. Nothing more, nothing less. His only excuse for such low numbers is an injury or recent illness.

bench press is more chest than arms so just cause you have big arms doesnt mean ur gonna rack up huge numbers on bench.

I could rep 225 11x as a junior in high school. I was 6' 165 at the time...not so much now at 43 (tomorrow) because I don't work out like that any more

This is my favorite part of the combine/testing season...

BQ was a physical specimen.  I cant remember his reps but he beat out most of the lineman that year In the bench press.

Im fairly certain I could bench Alex Flannigan 50 times to set a new record.

Ya, I was gonna say the same thing sladdy...
