Also, those weights look like 45 pound plates, which would mean he's got 315 pounds there. But the weights are labeled 25 lbs and 15 lbs so maybe it's just 175 (4x25 + 2x15 + bar). I've never seen weights that large having such a low weight.
About the knee: we don't know how long ago that photo was taken. He got hurt in January so presumably had surgery in February. If he's still swelled up like that 4 months later, that can't be good. But maybe this photo is from early May or something.
Yeah I thought they were 45 pound plates too and was like, dang he's a lot stronger than he looks.
I was wondering what kind of exercise he was doing there too since he can't get the bar to his chest. It's a weird photo. I am really curious about what the doctors have to say about that knee. That's the one thing I wish I was there in the room to hear. It's basically THE factor in whether or not I would draft Noel if he were there.
Just to recap, Len could go #1, Noel could go #2, and Bennett could go #3. Who said serious injuries hurt your draft stock?
It's actually pretty typical to do heavy lifting without a full range of motion (deadlifts, bench press). It's great for building strength.
