Bench Press

[Mouldsie]

I don't know why they only make NFL prospects bench.... as a scout I'd rather see squat and or clean.

Squat means Sqaut, so does bench IMO. They test lower body explosion with the broad jump and the verticle.

Technique > Strength

Lower body explosion is not the same as lower body strength. For a lineman, lower body strength is extremely relevant. Sure strength without technique is useless, but technique without strength isn't so hot either.

and with a position like LB I want to see Power Clean.

Every player is strong. Without technique your done. You get lower than a stronger and bigger person, you win.

If you have both Technique and are stronger, then your unstoppable. Not many players, even in the NFL use good technique.
