The amount of kinetic energy Watson has by running 40 yards in 5.86 seconds, at 464 lbs is equal to a 240 lb linebacker running a 3.03 40 yard dash That’s not a typo.

I'm hearing "Train Kept-A Rollin'" by Aerosmith in my head when i watch that.

Resident physics guy checking in. That statement may not be a typo, but it is not accurate. Just from rough mathematical reasoning, the linebacker has about 1/2 the mass of Watson. According to the distance and time measures, the linebacker has about twice the average speed of Watson. Kinetic energy is proportional to mass and proportional to the square of the speed. So cutting the mass in half but doubling the speed would result in a kinetic energy that is 2x bigger. The described linebacker has roughly twice the kinetic energy of Watson.

Physics aside, still an impressive specimen. I am even more in awe of that reported vertical leap than the 40 time.

So if you said momentum instead of kinetic energy would they be equal?

The weight/size ratio makes the bench pretty unimpressive

This I could endorse

As expected. Lots of follow up.

i was told there would be no math

From my friend @Maurile Tremblay - Desmond Watson's 25-inch vertical jump is more impressive than his sub-6-second 40 time. That's insane.

Holy Moly! That was CC as Gerald Ford on SNL! (mid-70s?)

It's worth watching Florida cutups just to see #21 standing next to other, normal sized players

Unless I am overlooking something, this link shows video of his bench press reps. I would love to see that vertical.

ETA...found video. https://x.com/IsaacEdelman/status/1905238524921602216 Not the greatest viewing angle though. Doesn't look like 25" from this angle.

I didn't mention any video in my link. My link was to the news story reporting the 25 inch vertical.

imagine him taking a direct snap for tush push play.

And also Will Ferrell as George Bush II in 2000 or 2004.
