Um ... high schooler bench presses 700 pounds?

Doesn't sound like much of a football prospect, but ... wow.

Is anyone recruiting this guy?
That's ridiculous. And it can't be healthy.

Margus Hunt was a freak athlete who had never played football before, and now he's going to be a first or second round draft pick next week and make millions. So it's not totally far fetched.

Read somewhere that he's 5'10" 270. That's a few inches shorter and about 40-50 pounds lighter than your ideal nose tackle prospect, but, uh, he bench presses 700 pounds.

He had a knee injury so he lifted weights every single day...no off days.A pure lifter and not recruited much for FB.
This guy is 5'10 not 6'8 and doesn't run a 4.6....can't compare to a Hunt type prospect, the key difference being Hunt is an athlete.
