Who Holds The NFL Combine Bench Press Record?

Winning gold at the Underwear Games

Justin Ernest holds the all-time bench press record at the combine with 51 repetitions of 225 lbs. Ernest was a defensive tackle out of Eastern Kentucky University. His record is unofficial and not recognized as the all-time NFL best. That is because Ernest went undrafted and did not play an official down in the league.

Stephen Paea bench pressed 225 lbs for 49 reps. Paea played record seven official NFL seasons with the Chicago Bears, Washington Commanders, Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys.
