You are assuming a lot when you call someone a gym rat. Some do not care about lifting and were still good. Tillman and McCaffery may have been some of those guys.

I know a guy that is about 6' 4" or so, and weighs about 280-300 and I would bet money he can't bench 225 ten times. I would also bet money he can whip most men's *** that can.

I saw him throw another guy his size all over the field one night in an alumni game. The guy who's *** he kicked was 10 years his jr and is related to a State Alum that is tearing up the NFL right now and could bench over 500lbs and squat even more. I know I would not mess with either of them.

Weight lifting isn't everyone's thing. If Pat Tillman said he maxed 225lbs, it's probably pretty close. Some guys don't have to lift to be good in college.

Those guys exist but I do wonder if that translates to the NFL very well. I bet it hurts his draft stock for sure.

Agree.

Any man in his early 20s who's 5-11, 200+ lbs, plays linebacker at a major college and works out seriously can easily pump 225 for reps.

I assume Tillman was just being humble when he said that. Not surprising.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

speaking of him stating that Tillman maxed on 225 in college.

That's just not right.

My fault, didn't realize that's who you were referring too.

You're all over the map

with this one. I don't even know where to start.

The argument about what P. Tillman could lift...

is maybe the dumbest thing I've read on this board in a long, long time.

Why would you care what a former football player could lift? Why would you care enough to argue about it on a message board?

I have a '245/10' decal on my back window.

Ha! I will try this:

Not everyone lifts weights with a passion. It doesn't mean that they can't play football.

I did qualify it though.... When you get to the pro level, it's very hard to continue that level of dominance without putting in the work. College athletes<NFL athlete
