Everyone already knew Mazi Smith was a beast, but he further proved it on Friday.
The NFL scouting combine is underway in Indianapolis, and while Smith isn’t going to participate in most drills, instead opting for the Michigan football pro day, he did partake in the bench press component. And he absolutely nailed it.
Posted by the official NFL Twitter account, Smith posted the best bench press number among all players at the combine. Participants press 225 pounds as many times as they can, and Smith led all invitees and NFL hopefuls with 34 — three more than the next-closest player.
Check out the video below.
