Former Badger interior offensive lineman and NFL Draft prospect Joe Tippmann racked up 30 reps on the bench press Friday. His rep total would have ranked fifth overall at the NFL Draft Combine in March.
Tippmann has been as popular as any of the Badger athletes who declared for the next level this offseason, oftentimes being mocked near the end of the first round or the start of the second round.
After multiple seasons as a mainstay blocking for the likes of quarterback Graham Mertz and running backs Braelon Allen and Chez Mellusi, Tippmann seems geared up to be another Badgers offensive lineman to carve out a successful career in the NFL.
The first round of the draft starts on April 27 and it’ll be interesting to see exactly where Tippmann goes.
The big 3️⃣0️⃣ for @JoeTippmann 😳😳
