Offensive lineman Kent Perkins might be the only other Texas player drafted besides D’Onta Foreman.

Perkins absolutely destroyed the bench press with 35 reps, which would have tied the best Offensive Lineman at the NFL Combine. Of course, Perkins was showing off in his home gym, but it was still an impressive feat.

Perkins also showed that he could jump, registering a surprising 30 1/2 inch vertical leap at 325 pounds.

During the LHN broadcast, former Longhorn/NFL player Emmanuel Acho predicted a late round NFL Draft pick for Perkins.
