On Monday, Ole Miss strength and conditioning coach Paul Jackson tweeted a list of the top five power cleans (a lift that requires one to take a very heavy weight from the floor to your shoulders) on the team. A surprise entry? Sophomore wide receiver D.K. Metcalf, who ranked fifth with a lift of 350 pounds.
Now you may not be familiar enough with a power clean to know what is and isn’t impressive. But just consider the other guys on the list with Metcalf:
- 314-pound offensive guard Daronte Bouldin (370-pound lift)
- 243-pound tight end Dawson Knox (367-pound lift)
- 290-pound defensive tackle Breeland Speaks (355-pound lift)
- 260-pound defensive end Charles Wiley (355-pound lift)
So yea, a sophomore wide receiver who weighs 224 pounds lifting 350 is pretty damn impressive.
