NFL Scouting Combine 2018: Oklahoma's Orlando Brown has 'historically bad' performance

Lowlights

It began Thursday when the 6-8, 360-pound lineman did only 14 reps of 225 pounds in the bench press. That was the worst among offensive linemen as UTEP's Will Hernandez did 37 reps.

His 5.85-second time in the 40-yard dash was the fifth-slowest by any player at the combine since 2003.

Brown then had a broad jump of just 6 feet, 10 inches, a vertical leap of 19 1/2 inches and was being yelled at by NFL coaches, who thought he was loafing during drills.

Former 3*, projected 1st rounder, and an NFL legacy.

He was defended by former teammate Baker Mayfield.
"You're never going to see him run 40 yards down the field," the Heisman-winning quarterback told reporters Friday. "You watch some tape and see he never gave up a sack."

No doubt. :naughtydevil:

Anybody think he was slacking so that he could "shine" on his Pro Day?

Someone dig up the Andre Smith 40 yard dash......he has made millions and the boy still finds a way to get hurt and miss pre-season drills/games...no need to waste yourself until they turn on the bright lights

Ridley did more bench reps. Of course he did more than Scarbrough too.

Orlando Brown could be one of those dudes who just has terrible measurables. Some of those guys have HOF careers. What's upstairs is what separates the cream from the milk. When in doubt, what the film.

I get the whole "combine may not mean anything" but it probably does mean that he is going to have to go as a free agent or way lower in the draft and prove it on the field to get his payday.

See, here's the thing I think with Scarborough and with this OL: they both have longer arms for their respective frames, which is further for the weight to travel.

Curious to see what their 1RM's are.

The 225 reps are more of a gauge of explosive strength rather than sheer brute strength.

Exactly right. Some guys are just built for the sport. It's better to have shorter arms on a bench press. You mentioned explosive strength, some of these guys are quick with their movement and can easily get the weight through the beginning of the motion. The LB from UCF, Griffen, put on a prosthetic arm and maxed out with 20 reps.
