Will Hernandez, an offensive lineman from Texas El-Paso, has put up the most reps on the bench press at the NFL Combine this year. He did 37 reps at 225 pounds.
That's great for Will. But his performance is not the most-impressive of the combine.
Shaquem Griffin's is. The former UCF star put up an incredible showing.
The one-handed linebacker used a prosthetic on his left hand. He did 20 reps at 225 pounds.

What'd you do today? Whatever it is, it surely wasn't as cool as that.
Griffin is a legitimate NFL Draft prospect, too. NFL.com has him going in Round 5 or Round 6.
"Griffin's physical limitation should be discussed as it pertains to areas like tackle disengagement and consistency of finishing, but his instincts, play speed and technique have all been major factors in helping him thrive at his position. His upfield burst as an edge blitzer and his range as a tackler are two strengths that NFL teams could capitalize on. Griffin could hear his name on day three of the draft, but if not, his competitive spirit and playmaking talent give him a shot to make a roster at some point in his career," NFL.com says.
