For all of you Willis (Ole Miss) fans.

To keep this in perspective Brady Quinn had 24 reps.



PATRICK WILLIS A BIT DISAPPOINTING: Willis' bench press reps of 22 were a bit surprising. I'm going to look up his arm length which scouts do take into consideration when they're long. It's harder to keep putting that weight up when you're arms are longer. I thought he's at least get 24 or 25. Shouldn't hurt him too much though. ---

Upper body strength is overrated. Leg strength is much more important.

Oh yeah, and Willis also ran a 4.49.

I'm not saying we shouldn't draft him but it's an FYI.

Tell the guys he smacked around he can only do 22...lol. Also remember Sean Taylor was horrible at the bench press 8 maybe or something crazy like that.

It's all about lower body strength in football.

agreed, it is good to have strong arms though, but core and leg strength are much more important.....

I really like Willis and him in the middle would be exciting next to Crowell and a healthy Spikes, that would give us 3 nasty Lbs if Tko can improve on his injury, we would be set there, if he ran a 4.49 that is scary fast for a MLB and he would be a real nice addition

Re: For all of you Willis (Ole Miss) fans.

Also, 225 is not a ton of weight. The number of reps thing is definitely part strength, but it's also part stamina. Brady Quinn doing 24 reps doesn't necessarily mean he is stronger than the other guys lifting fewer times. It doesn't mean he's weaker either. What I'm getting at is you may find some O-lineman out there who does 23 reps but can max out at 500.

Unless Willis is truly amazing to the Bills brass, I'd rather go somewhere else in round one and try to come back with Siler in round two.

I want to say Okoye, but we resigned mighty Tim Anderson.. If nothing else, makes ya think Marv isnt thinking DT in round one of the draft.. Totally depressing.

Does it matter who we have back there? When your RB has a full head of steam after running over Anderson it would be hard for 3 Ray Lewis's to stop him.

Re: For all of you Willis (Ole Miss) fans.

I love Willis as a player. The guy shows all over the field and is a good tackler. Those are the traits you want from a ILB.

BTW, Jonathan Vilma bench-pressed 225 23 times and run a 4.53 in the 40. His teammate at Miami, D.J. Williams, bench pressed 225 22 times and ran a 4.54 in the 40.

Seems to me Willis is in good company.

Re: For all of you Willis (Ole Miss) fans.

i guess we should look for another rb catcher like fletcher, makes plays 10 yards down feild, cause even though he had 146 tackles we we one of the woirst teams in the league, if i had my true pick at number 12 it would proally be someone to help offense, but if we let fletcher walk and others we need someone to anchor the middleif not willis then someone else

Re: For all of you Willis (Ole Miss) fans.

I'm sold on Patrick Willis and I think he is the best MLB in this years draft. Let's keep this in perspective too, on average the offensive linemen only put up 24 reps on the bench press. If anything Brady Quinn's 24 reps while being a quarterback is nothing short of amazing.

I really think the Bills plan to have LB addressed before the draft. They just havent shown much interest in LB prospects, yet they have made comments about guys like Briggs and resigning Fletch.
