Ohio State's DaVon Hamilton Tops All Defensive Linemen at NFL Scouting Combine with 33 Reps in Bench Press

When DaVon Hamilton was asked if he had a specific goal for the bench press during his media session at the NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday, the former Ohio State defensive tackle gave a modest reply.

“I’m just going to try to do my best,” Hamilton said. “It’s always a competition, so I want to be the winner.”

Well, Hamilton certainly did his best on Friday, and he was in fact the winner.

Hamilton earned the title of NFL Scouting Combine's strongest defensive lineman on Friday when he put up 33 reps of 225 pounds in the bench press, the most among all defensive linemen who participated.
