They should test the squat at the NFL combine (1 Viewer)

Stuff like the broad jump and vertical test lower body explosiveness, sure, and that's often linked with lower body strength, but it still seems like it'd be a good idea to throw the squat in as one of the tests, since lower body strength is pretty critical in football.

at the same time they should get rid of the bench press.

i think the squat will be too hard to judge.
