INDIANAPOLIS – Texas Tech-ex Jace Amaro bested the other top tight ends in the bench press Saturday morning.
The San Antonio MacArthur graduate, who carries 265 pounds on a 6-foot-5 frame posted 28 reps of 225 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium, according to information obtained by the San Antonio Express-News
The 6-4, 250-pound Eric Ebron, who is regarded as the No. 1 tight end in the draft, had 24 reps. Notre Dame product Troy Niklas (6-6, 270) ripped off 27 reps. Washington alumnus Austin Seferian-Jenkins (6-5, 262) recorded 20 reps.

There’s a lot of times where I do that and I feel like it’s something that’s very overlooked of what I can do. It’s something I’m going to have to show at the next level. But I know I’m willing to and I know I’m going to.”
