Georgia TE Charlie Woerner impressive at NFL Combine bench press

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Charlie Woerner didn’t put up monster numbers during his time in Athens. Woerner waited for his time and ended up starting as a senior.

Woerner, who never caught more than eleven passes in one season, is more of a blocking tight end. He was often an unsung hero in UGA’s elite rushing attack.

Woerner put up 21 repetitions on the bench press to finish tied for fourth among all tight ends. Not too shabby:

Woerner will find his way onto an NFL roster with his ability to block. NFL teams covet a third tight end who is more of a blocker. Woerner will be able to fill out that role in the NFL.

Arguably the best story about Woerner is he didn’t have a touchdown until his final career regular season game against Georgia Tech. Woerner deserved this one:
