Some here seem to think there is no correlation between a good S&C program and injuries. No program can stop all injuries, but there are ways to control and manage them better than what is going on here.
 
Why even have a program if it doesn't matter and only recruit kids who have Greek Gods in their genes then. I guess trying to get kids to bench press 500+ lbs. doesn't produce wear and tear on the shoulder joints and is not a cause for upper body injuries or doesn't lead to torn pectoral muscles either. Maybe some here should suggest to the NFL to eliminate the 225lb. test for strength and instead implement a max bench test for all draft picks.
 
Just maybe then Syracuse players will score higher.As for the 5'9" 200lb running back from Delaware last year who did 34 reps would then just become a footnote in the outstanding category as our running back did an amazing 14 reps.
 
and it looks like we are adding Lewis, Wilson, Miller and possibly Kimble to the list. Kids are very fragile up here in Syracuse
