2015 NFL Draft Combine

[GTJason]

Is there any reason why smelter didn't do the bench press?

I thought he could do it too, but I don't think it could have done anything except hurt his draft stock if he did poorly. I haven't seen any evaluations saying he has anything less than ideal or excellent strength so it wouldn't have helped him much. I'm sure he was advised to let people marvel at his 11" hands, answer questions, and remind everyone an ACL isn't as severe of an injury as it once was.
