Michael Wilson record most reps of bench press among all receivers at NFL Combine

Michael Wilson was on his way to having a great season this past year before he went down with a season-ending injury.

The injury may have made scouts and NFL teams slightly weary of taking Wilson in this upcoming draft, but all of that likely went away after his stellar Senior Bowl showing. The Stanford wideout had an MVP caliber performance, and was consistently raved about during the week by players and football minds alike.

Wilson had another chance at the NFL Combine to impress teams, and his bench press may have helped him stand out again.

BIG MIKE 💪💪💪

His 23 reps were the most of all the receivers there, and again has NFL teams and football analysts again talking about him moving up draft boards.

Wilson finished his final season with 26 catches for 418 yards, and a team high four touchdowns despite playing in just six games. Following his senior bowl performance, he was viewed as a third round pick.
