Former Georgia Southern Eagle Jerick McKinnon wasn’t just the strongest running back at the NFL combine on Sunday. He was the strongest skill player, and it wasn’t even close. McKinnon benched 225 pounds 32 times — 34 unofficially, as two were docked due to technique — but it was at least six more than any other running back, quarterback or wide receiver, who all worked out on Sunday.
