The Associated Press reports Ohio State DL Mike Kudla tied the NFL Combine record for the 225-pound bench press with 45 reps. Kudla's personal best is 52 reps. Ohio State LB A.J. Hawk said, "I'm glad he tied it, but 45 is a bad day for Kudla."

Damn. Thats one big guy. Will he be there in the 2nd Nick?

[Nick]

I would think so, yeah. I'm curious to see what he runs in the 40.

[RamsFan16]

Why? He is a DL

[Nick]

Because it would make a difference on if he could be a defensive end or defensive tackle.

[RamsFan16]

Oh. Is that pretty good though?

[Nick]

45 reps on the bench is a combine record, so yeah, it's pretty good. The top DT in this class posted a 37, I believe. With that kind of strength, Kudla could potentially play at DT or a 3-4 defensive end, but it also depends on how fast he is and how much weight he can add.

Wow he would be a monster at DE

[RamsFan16]

If he can bench that much I'd keep him at DT! Not DE unless he runs like a 4.7
