Making a separate thread for this. Wescott at Burnt Orange Nation had a helpful chart:

Results from Orangebloods ($), Hookem.com ($), ESPN Horns Nation ($). DNP = Did Not Participate
Observations:
- The people carrying the ball were stronger than the people blocking for them. Is that good? Snow can rep higher, but apparently didn't get it done. I'm not a big bench press guy, but it's a decent indicator of upper body strength. The NFL doesn't care if you can do 40 reps, but they want to see a minimum level
- Howard - 10 reps with 225. Then opts out of further testing. Exhausted after that herculean effort, perhaps? Five years in our S&C program
- Chiles showed up just to do a vertical leap. That cracked me up. Actually, he met for face time purposes and to talk to teams about getting a roster invite - wish him luck
- Cody no-showed an All-Star game, but still has a shot at a NFL career. I'm hoping he didn't no-show because he was 270+ at the time
- Robinson tested well and I know he'll interview well
- Acho had a torn quad and could only hurt his stock if he performed
- Gideon tested OK, but he doesn't pair that 4.6 40 with quickness and he's not a punisher in run support
- Give or take a few 1/10s of a second and some maturity, Christian Scott and Tray Allen left here as about the same athlete when they arrived. Did Ahmard Howard actually get worse?
Be excellent to each other.
