Despite an ACL tear at the 2023 NFL Scout Combine, Andrew Vorhees gave his very best performance
WeAreBigGuys shared a video of the offensive guard for the Baltimore Ravens, Andrew Vorhees’ 2023 NFL Scouting Combine test performance over their X platform on March 7, 2023. Their caption read:
“Andrew Vorhees tore his ACL at the combine and then opted to do the bench press using crutches and pumped out 38 reps… the most reps at the combine
Respect 🫡”
Now, the ACL tear is in Andrew’s knee, for which he used the crutches. But for the bench press? Andrew’s chest muscles, triceps, deltoids, and abdominal muscles were at play. Andrew’s knee was not directly impacted by the bench press. In the bench press, Andrew Vorhees had to lift 225 pounds. Vorhees lifted it 38 times. That was the most repetitions achieved at the 2023 NFL Combine. Giving Andrew Vorhees direct entry into the Baltimore Ravens as their offensive guard.
