Offensive linemen and running backs pumped iron at the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine today. Here is the list of bench press reps.

Day 3 of the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is in the books. Players will meet with teams throughout the evening, but today was notable because the Day 1 arrivals got to lift some weights.

That’s right. Today was the first of four days with the always-popular bench press. The Day 1 arrivals were the special teamers, the offensive linemen and the running backs. Did some tailbacks marvel at the bench press? How about the big guys up front?

Well, here’s the bench press totals for all the participating Day 1 arrivals:
