Not sure why they don't have kids squat when they're testing there...

If you are using your hands and arms to bench press, you aren't putting up much weight...grad is right...bench press is probably the least useful measurement when it comes to combine testing. I wouldn't call the 40 useless for linemen...it is somewhat important, but the short shuttle is what is really good for testing burst and agility, which is very useful in the trenches.
