The former Georgia running back impressed the entire NFL scouting combine on Thursday with 29 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press, tying Penn State running back Saquon Barkley for most among running backs.

Former UGA running back Sony Michel hoisted the 225-pound weight 22 times, tied for fifth-most at the position.
