Thursday
Former ASU right guard Christian Westerman recorded the most 225-pound bench press reps at the NFL Combine with 34, beating Missouri's Connor McGovern by one.
And Westerman apparently didn't even hit his potential.
ASU OL Christian Westerman, thought to be a threat to finish atop bench press event, fell short w/ cramp (34 reps). Goal was low 40s.

As Westerman's size makes him a valued offensive line prospect, he also impressed scouts with some of his measurables:

Foster then tied Ohio State's Braxton Miller for fastest 20-yard shuttle time, clocking in at 4.07 seconds.
D.J. Foster best WR shuttle of 4.07 at Combine and fast L-cone of 6.75. That's where he excels, ability to quickly re-direct.
