Yeah but his highlights weren't overly freakish lol guy has like a 42 vertical and rarely ever mossed someone like Jimmy graham has for example. He could have been great with someone like manning the broncos or manholes now
Yeah Larry Allen is strong for sure but there is a video of somebody that wasn't on the strongest list his name was Reggie White and there's a video that shows him taking one arm and picking Larry Allen up in the air and hip tossing him that's strong not taking nothing away from Larry Allen but check out the video friend
@@ralphjohnson8892 I know exactly what clip your talking and I love and hate it. love it cause Reggie White highlights are always great but sucks cause you gotta watch Allen get tossed but he wasn’t The Minister’s only victim. Allen even said in his HOF speech that that game inspired him to get as strong as he was.
@@chrisyentastic379 yes so true my friend Larry Allen definitely was a beast can't take nothing away from him and handled a lot of people even Reggie White irresistible Force against the immovable object they beat each other
Reggie White was definitely one of the strongest men in the NFL. I don't know his stats in the weight room, but I know he won the Weightlifting competition on the Super Stars TV show when easily push pressed 385lbs
Actually he did 395 lbs. He beat out Danny Noonan of the Dallas Cowboys who did 385 lbs. Prior to that year the record was 327.5 by Mark Gastineau of The New York Jets.
I wad gonna say jon Kolb needed to be on this list. He was my professor at Youngstown State and he is still in great shape at 68 when he taught my class. That's my guy. Glad to say I know him personally
I feel like Reggie White should be on this list. I don't know what he lifted in weights but I can't think of anyone else who lifted 300 lbs.+ grown men off the ground and pushed them back the way he did.💯
I think Erik Howard, NT for the Giants in the 80's and 90's, should be on this list. His rookie year he benched 585 and did 225 for 44 reps. While only weighing about 275.
I was at the state meet when Billings broke Henry's record. I was a spotter the platform next to it, matter of fact 5 or 6 lifters before he squatted 805 a spotter got his finger chopped off trying to catch a bar that rolled off the back of a lifter.
Tim Tebow benched 500 lbs...... and 480 consistently. At 14, he broke a camp record bench pressing a 55 pound curl bar 315 times. For a QB, he was stout!
And Tom Brady was the lowest ranked combine result in NFL history. One QB crashed and burned at the pro level, while one is the GOAT. Take the real QB over the meathead weightlifter every time..........
@@M2M774 I believe you are looking to reply to a different vid. This one is "10 STRONGEST Players In NFL History". And Tebow was definitely one of the strongest QBs.
I CAN BENCH PRESS 225LBS ABOUT 20 TIMES. I CAN SQUAT ABOUT 405. I CAN POWER CLING 135LBS. I CAN DEAD LIFT ABOUT 500 LBS. I CAN SPRINT A 40 YARD DASH IN 4.90 SECONDS. I CAN SPRINT 1 TIME AROUND A TRACK LIKE TRACK AND FIELD. I AM ABOUT 1 HORSE POWER.
Not to mention the strength Reggie had that couldn't be measured. Ragdolling offensive lineman with one arm to get to the QB says a lot about his strength.
Yeah, given this list isn't exclusive to just modern strong nfl players, like just from the last 20 yrs, I thought Randy White would've been included. As I remember, he was considered the strongest man in the nfl in the mid-80s. I don't remember the 450x10 reference, it's probably true, but I definitely remember a 504lb max being talked about at the time, and nobody saying "Yeah but, this other guy is benching more than 504..." ....I concur...Randy White, in the mid 80s, was known as the strongest guy in the NFL. Probably hard to include everybody on this list though.
There are so many different aspects of strength. You watch someone like Lawrence Taylor throwing 300lb lineman around with ease and you forget that he never spent much time lifting weights. I cant imagine what he would have been like if he was 100% focused on training and nutrition. Apparently, Bo Jackson wasnt a big fan of the weight room.
Best of the steelers muscle heads was tht little known Steve Courson. Official 600 lb bench in I P F competition. Much hader than gym rules R I P steve..
I don't think he ever got by Larry Allen though. Larry was the physically stronger of the 2. Reggie had agility and speed , so he could technically "beat" Larry in some matchups, but I think Larry Allen is the NFL's all time strongest man. Allen is one of the two guys I think could have legitimately challenged for the World's strongest man competition during the 1990's.
Yeah some people don't do as well in the weight room but are still very strong. Cesaro from wrestling is the same, I know it's scripted but he's still lifting guys like big show and swinging them around it makes no sense. He's not even that big.
@@TheGaara802 I think a guy like Mark Henry would fall into both categories. He was very strong in the wrestling ring, but also a USA Olympic Lifter in the Atlanta games. He also won the US weight lifting championships 7 times. He also won the first Arnold Strongman Classic over 2 recent WSM winners (Sven Karlsson and Magnus Samuselsson) in 2002. But if you watch Mark Henry in WWE ring, he's even more impressive in his prime than the numbers indicate.
Glad to see Jon Kolb and Terry Long getting some recognition for their strength. Imagine what they’d be capable of today with the improved training and recovery methods, and nutrition. And what about Kolb’s teammate Mike Webster? He beat Kolb in a few of those NFL strength competitions and is arguably the best center ever.
Just remember sometimes all that power still doesn’t help. Which is insane. Football is crazy. Speed. Strength. Agility. Power. But also being smart and technical.
It doesn't get any better than while showing clips and talking about Steeler Jon Kolb, we get to see 215 lb Jack Lambert pickup and pile drive some running back. Outstanding. The only thing missing was a clip of Jack smoking cigarettes in the locker room. Classic.
What about Mike Alstott? I used to hear about his crazy training regiment where he would run and pull cars with a harness around his waist for cardio and strength training
Trent RICHARDSON WAS A BEAST HE COULD PUT UP OVER 500 LBS ON THE BENCH PRESS AT THE RUNNING BACK POSITION!!! ALSO MY TOP THREE ALL TIME FAVORITE RAIDER NAPOLEAN KAUFMAN COULD BENCH PRESS OVER 500 LBS,AND HE WAS A RUNNING BACK ALSO,WITH 4.3 40 YARD DASH SPEED
I remember Trent Richardson doing 475lbs on the bench coming out of Alabama. I think they showed his weightlifting stats on ESPN. He power cleaned 330lbs. I think he squatted 670lbs. He was so strong!
Lived in Jester Center at the University of Texas in 1974. Earl Campbell lived there at the same time. He had 30 inch thighs and was more stout than pretty much any other football player on the team - as a freshman. We asked him how much he could lift and if memory serves he said 450 when he was a junior in high school. The way he threw around future hall of fame players in the pros leads me to believe he belongs on this list.
I believe there’s timed speed and game speed just like gym strength and game strength. Larry Allen had both gym and game strength. Haloti Ngata isn’t on this list but his game strength could easily take on 2 men with ease.
The makers of this video should have done done some more research. Notable players omitted were: Lyle Alzado Keith Bishop Michael Carter Ernie Conwell Steve Corson Luther Ellis Gary Frank Erik Howard Jonathan Ogden Mike Webster Reggie White
Patriots LB Vincent Brown was the most jacked player that I ever saw in person… And I saw Marion Butts in a tank top in weight room looking like a Bodybuilder
Myles is exceptionally strong but what makes him the best Edge in the nFL is his speed and agility. Thwe play when he jumps over a defensive lineman and blocks the has only been done once. Wilt was stronger than anybody on this list.
@@guins99 that was 3 years ago and he claims Mason Rudolph called him a racial slur. He just lost it and served a lengthy suspension. So just keep on bringing it up ad infinitum.
I trained with James Harrison during my pro day training here in Pittsburgh in 09. He was coming off his DOPY. I watched his floor press 5 plates for 5 reps with chains like it was nothing. I thought my 4 plate floor press was good lol. He made me look like a child.
Why wasn't Reggie White on that list I guess everybody forget about the hip toss that he gave Larry Allen with one arm lifted him off the ground guess you didn't see that video huh
im not discrediting Larry that he is strong but i wouldnt say he was able to lift 700 lbs because he had 3 people helping him out. if it werent for those 3 then he wouldnt be able to lift it
Reggie white don’t know is numbers but he had grown man strength. When you can hit two 300 pound men with one arm and knock them backwards on your way to sacking the Qb you are hulk like strong. He even pancaked Larry Allen a couple of times that should tell you something. In an era where they ran the bad more Times than pass. In this era he would have crushed the sac record with teams throwing 55-65 times a game where they only threw 15-22 times a game back then.
Thank you my friend everybody forgets about how Reggie White hip tossed Larry Allen with one arm yeah that is grown man strength thank you for reminding them
Is this a joke?? Bill Kazmier. He should of been number 1 and he isn't even listed. He was literally the worlds strongest man like 4 years straight. After he played pro football.... This is crazy he isn't listed. He held the raw bench press world record for years at like 685lbs
And HOF Center Mike Webster was even stronger than his teammate John Kolb. Webster won the 1980 NFL Strongest Man Contest, at which Kolb came in second. Lyle Alzado came in last.
James Harrison was a scary dude. Not just because of how strong he was, but also because in an era when we all started to become hyper aware of just how bad brain injuries are, he didn’t give a shit and went out with intent to play dirty and ruin lives. I love football and struggle with the concussion issue and I suspect years from now we will look back at how barbaric much of this is…and when we do, I hope everyone remembers that James Harrison was not necessarily a great football player, just a dirty enough player to instill fear in others and effect the game. Shame…but I guess when you are “undersized” like him, talent isn’t enough and being a bigger piece of shit than your opponents is the only way to win. Basically what Belichek meant when he talked about “the Patriot Way” in New England. The bigger piece of shit wins.
oh hell yes! Randy McDaniel was the stud lineman that John Randall couldn't beat in practice for like 3 years. The Vikings coaches said that Randall Arrived when he finally got through McDaniel. That competition got John Randall into the HOF.
