Missouri State linebacker Dylan Cole is strong. The Rogersville product is entering his last year at Missouri State, and like any good college senior, he's already trying to line up a job.
Here's his resume:
36 reps on the 225lbs bench press test is pretty good, right? @NFL @MelKiperESPN @AdamSchefter @nfldraftscout pic.twitter.com/tEIsUPazDp

That's 36 bench press reps at 225 pounds. Nobody at last year's NFL Combine pumped out more than 34 reps – and that came courtesy of Arizona State's Christian Westerman, who went to the Cincinnati Bengals as a fifth round pick.
Cole is considered a top-20 linebacker in this year's draft class, and that video won't hurt his stock. He's coming off a stellar season at inside linebacker, where he lead the Missouri Valley Football Conference in tackles and was third in the nation in tackles per game.
The Bears season starts September 1 at Plaster Stadium against Southwestern (Kan.) College.
