Watched some of his tape this morning.
Guy looked like he was playing at 380, but he still could move. Good lateral movement and base and very hard for DEs to work trough his size and length.
If he he can maintain 330lbs that he weighed at his pro day, and in an NFL strength and conditioning program with most of his meals prepared by the team I think he could easily compete with Mills at RT.
At a minimum this should light a fire under Mills.

People seriously need to get over the bench press reps as a measurable number for success in the NFL. As an example ASU offensive lineman Grey Ruegamer had min reps at 225-pounds and went on to have a nine year career as starting center and a consistent backup swing OL. He was a two-time starting Super Bowl champion at center and was key cog on many offensive lines. He may have had the lowest bench press total of any OL in combine history and yet he played nine years.
There is near zero correlation to the bench press and functional football strength.

I think he should get up to 500 lbs and give the bears a true "take the bottom off a defense" WR.

Transcript of Tayo's Conference Call
I like how Pace has drafted these intelligent, high-character guys who've worked hard to get to this point in their lives. Hopefully, that translates well onto the field.

There is a correlation between bench press reps and time spent in the gym.
That is all it really tests, which guys work out consistently and which guys do not.
It has no practical application to the football field, but 16 reps from an OLmen tells me that the guy is not in the weight room enough.
That being said it also means that he should have significant room to develop physically.

So basically he could punch the ball out of the stadium if he wanted to? Why kick it, then?
